Abstract
"The globalization of Pentecostalism is an area of study that is relatively in its infancy. Researchers are just beginning to examine the implications of Pentecostal and Charismatic Christianity as a global movement. Most studies have focussed on local Pentecostal histories. To date research has attempted to establish that Pentecostal and Charismatic Christianity is a global movement, even if its origins are debated.1 While it is not my concern to enter into the debate about the origins of Pentecostalism here, I do want to examine precisely how Pentecostal and Charismatic Christianity is interconnected on a global scale.2 In this paper I examine some of the transnational ties between Pentecostals in Asia and Canada. What I show is that these transnational networks between the “home” country and the “host” country are increasingly important for Asian migrants."
