Kurien discusses multiracialism in megachurches in Religion & Politics

Prema Kurien, professor and chair of sociology, examines how immigrants are influenced by, and in turn shape, U.S. megachurches in her article, "The 'Browning' of American Megachurches," published in Religion & Politics. "Nondenominational evangelical megachurches have become a ubiquitous feature of the American religious landscape, and there has been a lot of discussion about how they are 'remaking' American religious traditions," says Kurien. "But American evangelicalism has also had a profound impact on the church lives of contemporary immigrants and their children."
