Informações:

Synopsis

Check out church signs across America, and it is easy now to find congregations of Filipinos, Nigerians, Brazilians, Mexicans and Koreans — to name a few. About 75 percent of foreign-born residents in the United States now are Christians, and they are here to stay. Our panel shares some of the names, trends and controversies to look for so we can better tell the stories behind one of the most significant and least-covered shifts in the American religious landscape. Moderator, National Religion Correspondent, The New York Times. Speakers: Wesley Granberg-Michaelson, General Secretary Emeritus, Reformed Church in America; Jehu J. Hanciles, D.W. Ruth Brooks Associate Professor of World Christianity, Candler School of Theology, Emory University; Gabriel Salguero, President, National Latino Evangelical Coalition; Maria Liu Wong, Dean, City Seminary of New York.
