Based on data analysis, this study measured the level of perception of Ghanaians and Chinese cultural symbols. The objective was to investigate the possible differences and misconception in visual perception and comprehension between Ghanaians and Chinese. One hundred symbols, fifty from Ghana and fifty from China was used to administer questions in a survey to a total of hundred Ghanaian and Chinese subjects. By employing digital technology such as data collection and data analysis the most typical and least typical cultural symbols among both countries were collected. Further analysis was done to find out the factors affecting the perception of symbols by subjects and interaction effects between genders. Findings show that at least 40% of both Ghanaian and Chinese subjects had a relatively good knowledge of their cultural symbols which help identify them as typical symbols of their nations. The cultures of the subjects played a significant role on the results while gender, level of education, employment and the academic status of individuals impacted minutely on the outcome. The significant outcome of this study provides the basic foundation for researchers who are interested in examining cross cultural perception of cultural symbols. This study increases the need for awareness of cultural symbols and their meanings outside a country’s borders.

Digital technology has facilitated new ways for pastors and the faithful to congregate. No longer are congregations limited to physical and temporal boundaries with sermons streamed live, or as podcasts for viewing anywhere and anytime. Moreover, the visibility of pastors in their churches giving charismatic sermons and surrounded by musical performers in front of huge and sometimes emotional crowds are slick theatrical productions that not only maintain spiritual manna for church members near and far, but also appealing to new converts. This chapter investigates the transnational and cross-cultural appeal of the prosperity gospel movement’s Asia-Pacific stars – Brian and Bobbie Houston (Hillsong Church) and Joseph Prince (Joseph Prince Ministries, New Creation Church and Grace Ministries) on their culturally diverse and ethnically pluralistic global congregations.
