Publisher's Synopsis
Black Christian congregations are flourishing in Britain. Known for their exhuberant ceremonies, like the Mount Zion annual sea baptism, and their strong community-based identity, the black-led Christian churches form a joyous and vital strand of contemporary religious expression.;This work aims to provide an insight into these churches, which draw on a rich heritage of evangelical Christianity and are as diverse as they are fervent. Kerridge's first-hand account evokes these remarkable communities, as do the photographs of Homer Sykes. Such congregations are revitalizing worship in Britain and this is a record of their success.
