The Room Got Smaller. The Church Got Bigger.
How the Majority World Is Reshaping Christianity A few years ago, I sat in a church hall in a country town in New South Wales while someone I’ll call Val counted the heads in the room. Val got to nineteen, then told me, with no bitterness at all, that when Val was a...
Our Home is in Jesus Christ
A couple of months ago, my little family traveled to Palawan in the Philippines to celebrate my daughter Sophia’s first birthday. It was a lovely time of love, laughter, and great food: three things my Filipino family and friends do so well. But, as usual, I was...
The Weight and the God of the Depths: On Faith, Anxiety, Depression, and God
There’s a tiredness that sleep doesn’t reach. You wake, and before your eyes are fully open the weight is already there, resting on your chest like something with actual mass. The day hasn’t begun and you’re behind it. You get up anyway. You make the coffee, answer...

GRAHAM’S LATEST BOOK
WORLD CHRISTIANITY: AN INTRODUCTION
World Christianity: An Introduction provides an accessible introduction to the discipline, methodology, and field of world Christianity. In this book, Graham Joseph Hill engages with more than one hundred high-profile Majority World and First Nations Christian leaders to learn what they can teach the West about mission, leadership, hospitality, creation care, education, worship, and more. Hill challenges the Western church to move away from a Eurocentric and Americentric view of church and mission, and he calls for the church to engage with crucial paradigm shifts in world Christianity. The future of the global church—including the churches in the West—exists in these global exchanges. World Christianity is an indispensable guide for the church as it navigates the unique global experiences of the twenty-first century.
