This book explores the recent rise of African Pentecostalism and its rejuvenation of the Protestant-Evangelical minority religion in a secular and liberal (Flemish) Belgium. Beginning with an overview of developments within African Pentecostalism, the author discusses how, after arriving in Belgium African Pentecostals are using pneumatic mission theologies to establish 'migrant churches' that interculturally engage the needs of the African diaspora in a secular Flemish Belgium. The author argues that, despite their position of marginality, followers of African Pentecostalism have attempted to dialogue with a heterogeneously diverse minority Protestant-Evangelicalism through implementing a myriad of liturgical practices reflective of the African Christian imagination. By deploying Pentecostal mission theologies, the author pivots the intercultural contributions that African Pentecostalism makes towards solidifying peaceful coexistence, respect, and dialogue in a secular, plural, and liberal (Flemish) Belgium.
