Abstract
Abstract As the center of Christianity is shifting southward towards the developing world, misconceptions abound. Southern Christianity is mainly characterized by theologically conservative evangelicalism, even in the so-called mainline denominations. Christians in the Global South do not present a unified political ideology and are spread across the political spectrum depending on place and local politics. Their tendency toward ecclesiastic independence and schism works against any risk of theocratic momentum in politics. Furthermore, evangelicals are not militant fundamentalists. Pentecostals are the fastest growing group and often typify Southern Christianity in its kinship with the poor. As the nexus of Christianity shifts South, we must be careful not to think that it is America's brand of it.
