| Summary |
Through oral history research in north eastern Congo, this book studies the migration of Anglicans and the subsequent reconfiguring of their Christian identity. It engages with issues of religious contextualisation, revivalism and the rise of Pentecostalism. It also demonstrates how religious affiliation aids a sense of belonging. |
