Abstract

This article discusses the ideas which African Christians have of their Western counter-parts, notably in Western Europe, where African immigrants have recently founded congregations. African views of Christianity contain certain characteristics which Westerners tend to associate with traditional African religious beliefs. Western commentators often interpret the continuity between tradition and modernity in the spirituality of African Christians as a sign of fundamentalism. African Christians, in turn, are determined to evangelise Europe in order to turn what many see as the ‘valley of dry bones’ into a fertile garden.
