“To quote the late Stephen Neill….. ’in the twentieth century, for the first time, there was in the world a universal religion – the Christian religion.’ In the third millennium, like the first, the faith would once again be a truly transcontinental phenomenon.” Philip Jenkins
“the most immediately apparent difference between the older and newer churches is that Southern Christians are far more conservative in terms of both beliefs and moral teaching…….Western experts rarely find the ideological tones of the new churches mush to their taste…….From this point of view, the churches that are doing best in the world as a whole are the ones that stand farthest from Western liberal orthodoxies” Philip Jenkins
“The very survival of Christianity in Europe and America depends upon the emergence of men and women able to think new thoughts and devise new strategies at the real frontiers of mission today.” John Mbiti
