Protestants: 500-Year History: Part 2

We will continue the story of Protestants as a global movement not only in Europe and North America, but now with some dynamic expressions in Africa, Asia and South America. The largest Protestant church today is in South Korea. While numbers in the United States are in decline, there has been a dramatic increase in Latin America, and it is estimated that by 2030 China will have more Protestants than any other country. This movement, which makes up about 37 percent of all Christians, continues to grow and change through a rich variety of global expressions. With all its diversity, Protestants share one thing in common, and that is an attraction that first found expression 500 years ago—a direct encounter with the divine, whether as a lived experience, a memory or a hope. While that is not true for every Protestant, it has been a driving force of this movement, which continues to change the world.
