DESCRIPTION:Innovation in Contemporary Evangelical Christianity (2)\nPanel
 leitung: Martin Radermacher (CERES)\nConsidering  revivalism\, processes o
 f institutionalization of churches and  revitalization of traditions\, Eva
 ngelical and Charismatic Christianity  have been the prototype of both inn
 ovation and tradition from the start.  This apparent paradox and interdepe
 ndency will be in the center of this  panel: How is it possible for moveme
 nts and communities to flesh out an  identity\, encourage innovative metho
 ds\, and still feel ingrained in  religious tradition? What normative role
  do texts and readaptations of  texts play? How does the body become a mea
 ns of religious innovation and  regulation? Evangelicals navigate between 
 engagement and distancing –  what Lynne Gerber (2012) calls (following S
 mith) the “evangelical dance  of engagement and distinction”. This con
 dition fosters cultural  adaptations that include\, e.g.\, media and new t
 echnologies which  transform what they transport (Birgit Meyer 2010) and t
 hus entail   innovation. The panel welcomes papers on evangelical and cha
 rismatic  practices and discourses from different regions in the world in 
  contemporary perspective addressing these questions.\nMartin Radermacher
