| Summary: | This article describes the emergence of Christian migrant-initiated churches (MICs) in Norway and how these contribute to the diversification of the Norwegian Pentecostal landscape. The author describes various dimensions related to the ethnic, cultural, linguistic, and theological diversity that these MICs represent. The article's main findings build on fieldwork and interviews in a series of MICs and their transnational networks across various ethnic, cultural, and denominational lines. From this, the article discusses issues related to identity, culture, and spirituality and how these shed light on differences and the potential for unity across cultural and other boundaries. In particular, the article highlights the spiritual and organizational characteristics of global Christianity and many MICs and how these may represent challenges and opportunities for an increasingly diverse Norwegian Pentecostal landscape today and in the future. |
