| Zusammenfassung: | The last few decades have seen an increase in the emergence of African Pentecostal churches in Britain. There is however not much dialogue on how these diaspora churches are contributing to and shaping British practical theology. African Pentecostals are often branded as a single movement. It is true that these churches or denominations share some similarities in terms of theological assumptions and expressions, as is indeed the case with many Pentecostal churches.

This article presents the findings of a case study exploration on how culture, ethnicity and national identity influence practical theological approaches in Britain. |
