| Σύνοψη: | In Indonesia, a country with a Muslim majority, Pentecostal / Charismatic churches are growing in urban contexts. Young people especially are attracted by the living worship of the Pentecostal / Charismatic churches, organised very professionally with an integration of multimedia, music, decor and lighting. The pop and rock music is most attractive, in combination with the sermons of the pastors which are simple and near to the daily life experiences, showing how Jesus is near to everybody, giving comfort, forgiveness, healing, direction and even material prosperity and happiness. Young people, coming from the countryside to big cities appreciate Pentecostal / Charismatic churches as a sign of modernity. As regards their relations with Islam, some Muslims do not like the worship of Pentecostal / Charismatic churches in big shopping malls. Other Muslims benefit from the social activities of Pentecostal / Charismatic churches, on condition that they are not forced to become Christians. Most of the relations are indifferent, as long as they do not disturb each other. |
