Description
Summary:Unlike the global North, "the ferment of Christianity" in the global South, among the majority of world people, has been astronomical. Despite the shift in the center of gravity of Christianity to the global South, intra-ecclesial tensions globally remain those of the relationship of culture to religion.

Is it appropriate to describe the shift as the emergence of global Christianity or world Christi.
