The Future of Global Christianity
As a Christian are you acquainted with your global family?
This webinar will introduce you to Christianity around the world and offer a surprising and encouraging view of its future. It will summarize some of the main finding of the World Christian Encyclopedia, 3rd edition (Edinburgh University Press).
You will hear remarkable developments, such as:
- • In the past 120 years, Christianity has shifted from the Global North to the Global South.
- • Pentecostalism is the fastest growing movement within Christianity.
- • Africa is the continent with the most Christians today. Europe held that distinction for the previous 1,000 years!
- • A greater percentage of the world’s population is affiliated with a religion today than in 1970.
