Pentecostalism
is now the largest Christian faith in London. What is it about this
rapidly growing religion that makes it so appealing?
Black-majority
Pentecostal churches in particular are one of the big success stories
of the black community in Britain. Their numbers are rising faster than
any other Christian faith, while the Church of England is seeing its
congregation shrinking.
Life And Death The Pentecostal Way gives us unprecedented access to
the congregation and staff of one of the first Caribbean Black-majority
Pentecostal churches in this country - Brixton New Testament Church of
God - to discover how this religion has been so successful. We witness
its charismatic sermons, passionate worshipping, the full-immersion
baptism of teenagers and the fabulous hats and attire of the
characterful older members of the congregation.
This one-hour observational documentary follows the stories of
members of the congregation at defining moments in their lives. Through
powerful personal stories it lift's the lid on a vibrant faith that
is fast becoming one of the dominant religions in Britain.
