The spatial modalities of evangelical Christian growth in Sri Lanka : evangelism, social ministry and the structural mosaic

Auteur(s) et Affiliation(s)



Description :
This paper incorporates a melange of ideas into a new understanding of evangelical Christian growth in Sri Lanka. The author argues that closer examination of the recursive relationship between organisation (agency) and context (structure) will lead to recognition of the fact that growth is a spatially defined process, with evangelical organisations being tied to localities in complex and multifarious ways. A heuristic device – the structural mosaic – is proposed and developed in order to account for the growth of evangelical Christian groups in hostile environments around the world.
