Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Abstract A pronounced concern with the utility of Pentecostal beliefs and practices emerges as a central theme in the analysis of APCC. After briefly examining functionalism and religion, this chapter provides a summary typology of APCC’s apparent functions, including Corporate Utility; Religio-Cultural Appeal and Preservation; Reality Maintenance; Identity Formation; Socioeconomic Action; and, Coping Mechanisms. Following this review, the chapter then concludes by noting congregant opinions regarding the future of APCC. Some members envisaged that many people from outside of the diaspora will eventually join the church, while others were skeptical of APCC’s appeal to non-Africans. Nonetheless, despite these varied outlooks, parishioners unanimously declared that the church will, in some way, positively influence Canadian society with its non-Western form of Pentecostalism.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
