Due to the corona pandemic, UCSIA was forced to cancel the ‘Religion, Culture and Society’ Summer School of 2020. The full program on ‘Religion, Mobility and Politics’ has been postponed until 22-29 August 2021. This also means there will be no public lecture at the University of Antwerp. Instead, we offer an exclusive webinar with two of the three Summer School tutors: Jayeel Serrano Cornelio will present his research on the prosperity ethic during the key note address, Angie Heo will be the respondent.

A new prosperity gospel is emerging in the Philippines. Cornelio calls it the prosperity ethic. Its dimensions set it apart from the previous incarnation of the prosperity gospel, which emphasized tithing and confessing. Specifically, the prosperity ethic values upward mobility and uses Biblical principles for the acquisition of practical skills to become rich. He makes his case by drawing on the writings of Bo Sanchez and Chinkee Tan, two of the most influential prosperity-oriented preachers in the country. The prosperity ethic has three dimensions: the morality of wealth (believing right), the prescribed mindset (thinking right), and the practical skills to accumulate wealth (doing it right). Cornelio will explain the rise of the prosperity ethic by relating it to major shifts in the economy since the 1990s. For sanctifying individual hard work and desire, the new prosperity gospel is emblematic of neoliberal Christianity in the Philippines today.
