An investigation into the spatial needs of the Pentecostal religion in Uganda. (A case study of selected Pentecostal churches in Kampala)

Abstract

The Pentecostal religion in Uganda has experienced a rapid increase in the number of followers. This had led to many structures housing the religion being set up in a scattered and unregulated manner ranging from small, large, brick, glass, or wood patted. However, distinctive beliefs, rituals and practices of the religion in the country might still be discernible and could provide avenues for exploration a unique spiritual spatial aesthetic that will later shape the design of Pentecostal churches in Uganda. The study will explore the beliefs, rituals and practices of the Pentecostal church in Uganda. (1. belief in spirit beings, 2. religious rituals and 3. religious practices) and how these relate to the spiritual aesthetic space.
