The Next Christendom: the Coming of Global Christianity

Our book of the month by Philip Jenkins. Post your insights and observations on Chapters 1 and 2 in the comments section as you ponder:

What do you think of Jenkins view of the passing of Western Christianity and the dawning of Southern Christianity?

The MO of the Southern Christian is third world, poor, morally conservative, open to the superatural and more interested in personal salvation than political activism. How does this go against the grain of the ministry trends in the Western church and the view that Christianity cannot survive in its present form?
