Résumé

Christian Mission in a Diverse British Urban Context is a valuable book in the African Christian Diaspora field. It explores the theme of partnership between African Immigrant Congregations (AICs) and white majority churches for “a more effective sharing of the gospel” in the multicultural UK setting (5). The book argues that the UK AICs have become a shelter for their members from migrant challenges, providing a variety of support as these adherents strive to make sense of their new environment. Yet, as the author notes, these congregations must find effective ways of engaging with the local British congregations for a more impactful Christian witness and, in fact, one that better represents God’s kingdom.
