Colliding Diasporas: Europe
and the Spread of Global Christianity
Philip Jenkins, Distinguished Professor
of History and Religious Studies, Pennsylvania State University
Part of the Lecture Series "Transforming Europe: Alliances,
Integration, and Islam"
Changing patterns of immigration have profoundly changed European patterns of
religious belief and practice. While transnational networks have received some
attention in the context if Islam, with radical groups like Takfir wal Hijra,
less attention has been paid to Christian churches that demonstrate equal contempt
for traditional international frontiers. I will discuss the role of diaspora
communities in the religious map of the emerging Europe, and will specifically
African and Asian religious networks as possible foundations for future European
Christianity. I will also explore the potential for extra-European religious
conflicts spilling over into European cities. For more information please contact
