Popis: The rapid growth and development of African-Caribbean Churches in Britain since the Second World War has contributed to the communal life and vitality of British society and the burgeoning plural theological landscape. However, the socio-political contributions of African-Caribbean Pentecostal church leaders at one level remain unacknowledged and at another unknown. As a consequence there is a strong general belief that African-Caribbean church leaders shun worldly political engagement.
