摘要
International churches in Europe are growing. Yet there is concern that the European international churches only attract immigrants and refugees, not Europeans. In a first-of-its-kind study, the authors examined the demographics of the Fellowship of European International Churches. It is the largest network of international Pentecostal churches in Europe. The authors found it to be incredibly diverse, with 152 nationalities represented in the international churches. Europeans from various countries made up 27% of the population within the Fellowship of European International Churches, and 61% of the churches reported the presence of refugees. The authors conclude their study by offering suggestions on how European churches can better engage refugees and immigrants by examining the international churches' praxis.
