African Expressions of Christianity in Australia Report Launch

The report “African Expressions of Christianity in Australia” draws on the ARC Discovery project entitled ‘The African Diaspora and Pentecostalism in Australia’ and was commissioned by the African Australian Advocacy Centre (AAAC), a grassroots organisation that represents African communities in Australia in the areas of advocacy, research and policy. The purpose of the report is to highlight the complex relationship between African expressions of Christianity and settlement in Australia, and to proffer evidence-based recommendations aimed at government, not-for profit organisations and other settlement support services. These recommendations support productive engagements and partnerships with churches given that they are important social centres for the vast majority of people of African heritage who identify as Christian living in Australia.
