Evangelicals revive Christianity in Europe
Nov. 18, 2006

Evangelical Christian churches are growing in Europe, with most of their membership immigrants from Asia and Africa.

"Non-belief, doubt and secularization continue to progress, but increasingly we're witnessing a spiritual turning in recent years," said Christopher Sinclair of the University of Strasbourg.
