Abstract

[The conclusion takes a broad perspective on the present work and its implications and applications. Aware of the common gap between theoretical elaborations and actual practice, part of the conclusion is dedicated to tracing back the grounded theory approach that informed the work’s theoretical innovations, for example, through Kenyans’ common preoccupation with “funny (religious) things,” with “church hoppers,” with individual “freedom of worship,” and with the distinction between “church members” and “church visits.” I then turn to consider the main findings drawn from this work and above all the observation whereby religious mobility is not an anomaly, but rather an integral part of a dynamic identity system, in which overflowing institutional boundaries is the norm rather than the exception.]
