description: Christianity seems to be in decline in the West. But many churches in Asia Africa Latin America and other parts of the Majority World are growing rapidly. Western Christianity can no longer claim to be the center of the global church. Before long two-thirds of Christians will live in Asia Africa and Latin America. What does this mean for global Christian mission? What does it mean for worship theology faith and evangelism in the West? InGlobalChurch Graham Hill engages with more than one hundred high-profile Majority World Christian leaders to find out what they can teach the West about mission leadership hospitality creation care education worship and more. He challenges the Western church to move away from a Eurocentric and Americentric view of church and mission and he calls the church to construct global missional conversations. The future of the global church--including the churches of the West--exists in these global exchanges.
