| Summary: | The enormous demographic change of Christianity worldwide is forcing a reexamination of basic questions about Christian identity and the relation of local Christian communities to other Christian groups and traditions. Christianity has been both an agent and a product of the flattening and shrinking of the world. What are the implications of globalization for contextualized worship arts? Through an ethnographic study of 12 urban churches, conducted from 2012 to 2014 in Beira, Mozambique, this article explores the challenges of globalization for developing contextualized worship arts. |
