ABSTRACT
Immigration, transnationalism, and globalization have all contributed to the radical alteration of the global geo-religious reality. These processes have created an increasing urgency to evaluate the needs and opportunities of world Christianity. This chapter examines the themes of renewal, piety, and power in African Pentecostalism in the diaspora. It grapples with how African Christians in the diaspora have creatively adjusted to new cultural contexts and developed a new grammar of faith. In claiming the diaspora as the new “Macedonia,” African Christians are claiming that they have something meaningful to contribute to piety and public life in the diaspora. I affirm that globalization, cross-fertilization, and intercultural hermeneutics will continue to engender new paradigms in world Christianity.
