Evangelical and African Pentecostal Unity: Balancing Principles and Practicalities in Britain Around the Millennium - Paperback

by Hugh Osgood (Author), Israel Oluwole Olofinjana (Foreword by)

As the millennium approached, the number of independent African Pentecostal churches in Britain increased rapidly. Having assimilated classical Pentecostalism and the charismatic movement, and having begun to find ways of working with the Caribbean Pentecostal denominations, it remained to be seen how UK evangelicalism would fare with African Pentecostals. This book looks at the intricacies of the relationship at a time that provided ample opportunities to weigh the benefits and challenges of integration from every possible angle.
