| Zusammenfassung: | Migrant religious communities dot the landscape of every major city on the globe. Migrant churches formed by temporary economic migrants from India, the Philippines, Egypt and Nigeria are found in each of the six Arabian Gulf countries. How do we begin to understand the migrant churches in this region? This article posits that migrant churches must be studied in light of their specific geographical contexts, the migratory system at work in their contexts, and with attention to the complexity embodied by the various types of migrants. We will employ this model to analyze the case of Kerala Pentecostal churches in Kuwait. |
