| Summary: | Morris Cerullo World Evangelism (MCWE) is an American evangelical ministry currently operating in Britain. This article examines MCWE's reception within the UK context. The evidence suggests that the characteristics of this ministry lead to a selective appropriation and appeal primarily to African-Caribbean migrant groups. It is paradoxical that MCWE's White-led Mission to London revivals may function as an expression of Black identity in the UK. This will be explained in terms of cultural forms and worship style, message, and social functions. Because of this differentiated reception, it appears unlikely that MCWE will significantly increase its UK membership. |
