| Sumario: | Traces the religious adaptation of members of an important Indian Christian church - the Mar Thoma denomination - as they make their way in the United States. This text exposes how a new paradigm of ethnicity and religion, and the megachurch phenomenon, is shaping contemporary immigrant religious institutions, specifically Indian American Christianity. Kurien draws on multi-site research in the US and India to provide a global perspective on religion by demonstrating the variety of ways that transnational processes affect religious organisations and the lives of members, both in the place of destination and of origin. |
