Abstract
This essay explores the coexistence of the ancestor cult and the Presbyterian Free Church as constituent elements of the ritual and ideological field of Yombe society in northern Zambia. It takes the position that these two religious expressions may be appropriate to the experiences, consciousness, and actions of individuals as they pursue personal interests and social goals in situations of rapid social change. The uneven penetration of capitalism is taken as conducive to ritual coexistence and as providing the setting for exploring changing patterns of gender relations and stratification in the rural community of Uyombe.
