Book excerpt: This book addresses the belief system and practices of Yorùbá Pentecostal churches using the Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministries church as case study. It explores the ritual space, worship formats, rites and rituals of Yorùbá Pentecostal Christianity while also providing evidence to support the claim that music is an indispensable element of present-day Yorùbá Pentecostal church ritual. The book is an attempt to understand the operational framework of present-day Yorùbá Pentecostal churches and their music ministries through the lens of the MFM church. The author also investigates the keywords often used by congregants to describe their emotional response to certain rites within the liturgy.
