Episode description

Christianity is on the decline in Australia.  In 1966, 88 percent of the Australian population identified as Christian. In 2016 - 50 years later - that figure was down to 52 per cent. 

 

But there’s one Christian denomination bucking the trend, Pentecostalism. Aka the religion of our current Prime Minister Scott Morrison.  Prof Andrew Singleton, from Deakin University joins us to talk through the rise of Pentecostalism, and whether the charismatic churches rely on migrants to stay on top.
