This publication investigates new ways of understanding
international churches. Based upon recent fieldwork, six migrant
Christian communities in Rotterdam were analysed using
congregational study methods on how they construct identity.
Through the frames of 'koinonia', 'diakonia' and 'kerygma', this
research reflects on their composition, characteristics, leadership
style, language and social capital. Language is found to be an
important shaper or 'carrier' of identity and acts both as badge
and bridge of identity. In building identity, MCCs do not behave in
ways expected or consistent with the process of integration.
