SUMMARY:The Life and Death of Papa Melbasa: A Prelude to the Christian Conv
 ersion of the Sama Dilaut Migrants in Davao City\, Philippines\, in the la
 te 1990s
DESCRIPTION:\n	Aoyama Waka (Associate Professor\, Research Faculty of Media
  and Communication\, Hokkaido University\; HYI Visiting Scholar)\n	Chair/D
 iscussant: Theodore Bestor (Reischauer Institute Professor of Social Anthr
 opology\; Director\, Reischauer Institute of Japanese Studies)\n\n\n	This
  talk looks at the transformation of a Sama Dilaut migrant community in th
 e urban setting of Davao City\, Mindanao\, Philippines\, focusing on the l
 ife of a Sama Dilaut chief and mendicant\, Papa Melbasa. Melbasa lived in 
 a houseboat at sea and also on land in a house in the urban slum. He praye
 d privately in his home to his own ancestral spirits and publicly to the H
 oly Spirit with his congregation. He witnessed the beginning of the proces
 s of the Christian conversion of his community in the late 1990s while exp
 eriencing his own personal conversion at the same time. These narratives a
 re clearly subjective personal recollections of his life\, but they also r
 eflect the social\, institutional\, cultural and contingent factors influe
 ncing the conversion process of the entire community. Professor Aoyama’s
  presentation is conceived as the first part of a trilogy on Pentecostal C
 onversion and Pearl Business among the Sama Dilaut migrants and their desc
 endants over three generations at the turn of the 21st century.
