Balokole definition

Balokole means ‘the saved people’ or ‘the saved ones’ in the local language, Luganda. Interestingly, Middleton’s work on the Lugbara (1999 [1960]) identified that when the ‘Abalokole’, what Middleton called “a separatist Christian sect” (1999 [1960]:264), came to the Lugbara region in north-west Uganda, the Lugbara seemed to appropriate the term for themselves to refer to a type of possession when someone was struck by a power of God (the Lugbara had a concept of a creator God). In this thesis, however, I use the term as it is used in contemporary Kampala, to describe more broadly born-again Christians.
