The New Faces of Christianity

In the year 1900 Europe and North America comprised 82 percent of the world's Christian population. By 1995 Europe and North America only comprise 32 percent of the world's Christian population, while Africa, Asia and Latin America make up 60 percent of the world's Christians today. This is not only happening globally, but also in the states. By 2050 it is estimated that most of the US will be non-white which is presently only about a third of the population. The US will see major growth in minority groups. This shift may actually help maintain Christianity a the primary focus of the nations, considering that whites are becoming post-christians and minorities are increasing in belief.

The above chart is a dramatic visual of the shift in the Anglican church from England to Africa.

Christianity may look different, but thank God for the new faces.
