Dr. Gina Zurlo Writes on How African Women Are Poised to Shape the Church
Dr. Gina Zurlo, Adjunct Faculty of World Christianity and Mission and Co-Director of the Center for the Study of Global Christianity, recently published an article for The Conversation as part of Women’s History Month. As the lead researcher on the first-ever global quantitative analysis of women in world Christianity, she states that, “the goal of my research is to put the spotlight on Christian women’s contributions to church and society and fill in gaps in our data.”
In this latest article, she shares the many ways in which social scientists measure faith and also explores the demographic shift in Christianity to the global south. Dr. Zurlo concludes that, “women are the majority of the church nearly everywhere in the world, and that its future is poised to be shaped by African women, in particular.”
