Christianity in the UK is flourishing in immigrant communities, a Durham University professor says.
Writing in “The Conversation UK”, Mathew Guest, Professor in the Sociology of Religion, says the most vibrant congregations are often found among ethnic minority and migrant communities, noting research that shows the health of Black Pentecostal churches, as well as churches attracting Christians of Asian heritage.
“From the perspective of a moribund Church of England, these black-majority churches represent a Christian vitality that many Anglican congregations struggle to sustain,” he said.
