Religious practice, like every other human affair, was altered at the onset of
the pandemic. The paper argues that the ?home church? as a Christian expression
of religiosity during Covid-19, for instance, was a signal to something new at
least in the theoretical realms of religion. More strongly, it was a vindication
of postcolonial native societies (of Africa) whose indigenous spiritualities were
thwarted and/or abolished during the colonial era. The pandemic is theorized as a
wake-up call for agency in these societies. The theorization relies upon Piaget?s
psychological ?techniques? of accommodation and assimilation, opening various
channels to answering the questions: what was assimilated during colonialism that
should have been accommodated and vice versa? And how has the pandemic uncovered
that error of inversion?
