| Zusammenfassung: | In this essay I ask: how do evangelicals in the Global South engage on issues relating to conflict, security, and basic human rights? I discuss who evangelicals are in the Global South and then present cases of two evangelical churches: one affluent and one impoverished. I argue that social location matters: affluent churches can participate in democratic discourse; impoverished actors must often navigate the perils wrought by state failure. In both environments, evangelicalism’s (sometimes underutilized) political and policy engagement is guided by a mix of traditional and modern values, and is directed toward a particular vision of a flourishing society. |
