The Church

The chapter discusses the phenomenal growth of The Church of Almighty God and explores the possible reasons for it. While hostile sources claim the church is “against the family,” a study of the church’s sacred scriptures shows that its view of the family is in fact surprisingly positive and conversions often occur through relatives. Five stories of persons who converted are then presented: a young woman raised as a Jehovah’s Witness, a young Chinese man born in the United States, a couple owning a small business in Arizona, and a pastor of an evangelical church in the Philippines. Their narratives reflects the emic narrative of conversion and insist on the persuasiveness of theology. A survey conducted among diaspora church members in three countries (South Korea, USA, the Philippines) shows that most members were in fact converted by relatives, and in turn tried to convert other relatives.
