ABSTRACT

Migrant Pentecostal churches have become important actors of integration governance in Sweden and have experienced an unexpected growth in large Swedish cities over the past few years. Based on recent ethnographic, participatory observations and interviews during 16 months of fieldwork conducted between 2017 and 2019, this chapter aims to provide a comprehensive description of the type of social representations and relations that the urban configuration of Stockholm generates amongst Latin American Pentecostals in Sweden. Throughout the chapter, the author shows how the combination of mass migration and urbanity appears as a source of tensions and mistrust amongst Pentecostals with a migrant background, which might paradoxically be the one the features allowing their expansion in the city. Pentecostals thereby develop an aesthetic of the cityscape in articulation with Pentecostal representations of space and time, influencing their evangelisation strategies and shaping their moral subjectivities.
