| Summary: | The article describes the main features of African protestantism, reminds the definition of Evangelical identity, then analyses the recent developments in French speaking African Evangelical Churches. The transition from modernity to postmodernity meant a new dominance on the emotional in Church life. This new note has effects on worship services and on spirituality.

Finally, in this context, the article adresses several proposals to theological seminaries. |
