The paper will focus on the “3G Temple”, a “Third Generation Temple” of Angolan Bom Deus Church. This temple was inaugurated in 2019 in Luanda as the new headquarter of the Angolan Pentecostal church that went a long way from a foreign, stigmatised Congolese church to the officially recognised and nationalised Angolan religious institution. “Sometimes I do not know if it is a church or a city” and “It is like a meteor that landed here” are examples of statements about the new construction, located in one of the peripheric, poor neighbourhoods of Luanda. The plaque at the building reads, it is a “Modern Architecture Temple, Unique in Africa” and the information board aside informs about the malicious spirits intervention, police brutality and witchcraft involved at the time of the inauguration of the temple. The “3G”, as it is popularly named, exemplifies a complex relatedness between religious and urban imaginaries, and embodiments of contemporary governmentality in Angola. The temple itself might serve as a heuristic tool to explore the Pentecostalism-Urbanity-State governance intersectional triangle. Therefore using the “3G” case I will analyse the intersections between the religious imagination and the “New Angola” top-down governing and post-war reconstruction project. Particularly I will focus on the “New Luanda”, a powerful social imaginary that emerged as the outcome of “New Angola” discourses and governance. Putting the “3G Temple” in the centre of my analysis I will reflect on both, the conforming and rebellious potentials of the Bom Deus church’s material and immaterial infrastructures in contemporary urban processes in Luanda and beyond. The paper is based in the long term ethnography of Bom Deus church that was conducted in Angola, Brazil, Cape Vert, Portugal and in the UK.
