Beyond the Christian West, week 6

African Independency and Revival (especially The East African Revival)

African Independent (or Initiated) Churches: few or no connection to Western Christianity. Developing already in the late 19th century, not really studied until much later: Bengt Sundkler, Bantu Prophets in S. Africa (1948), David Barrett, Schism and Renewal in Africa (1968). Now one-fifth or more of African Christian adherents.
