Canadian Journal of African Studies/La Revue canadienne des études africaines, 46 (3), 367-3800008-3968http://hdl.handle.net/10451/7392This article proposes to debate the relationship between mobility, faith and belonging, exploring the idea of “moral circumscriptions” to describe how one particular African Christian movement, the Tokoist church, experienced a historical process of territorial transcendence, from a regional, ethnic movement to a global venture, responding with a complex set of ideologies attached to ideas of place. The article highlights the – often tense and conflictual – political and ideological processes of identitary construction developed within the church.engjournal article
