Dr Joel Tejedo: Megachurches and Public Life // How Megachurch Congregants View Life and Faith

This recording is an academic presentation from the Global Pentecostal Summit 2023, held in Singapore at City Harvest Church. ++++++++ Scholar: Dr Joel Tejedo (Director of Asia Pacific Research Center, Asia Pacific Theological Seminary) Paper Title: Megachurches and Public Life: How Megachurch Congregants See Life as a Whole and How Do They Live Out Their Faith in Public Life? Paper Précis: Dr Joel discussed the ongoing transition and transformation of megachurches, shaped by global health crises, wars, and political conflicts. He highlighted the emerging study of megachurches in the Global South, noting their continued evolution amid the challenges of the 21st century. Dr Joel explored how megachurch congregants approach lived religion and their role in public life, based on empirical research from the Templeton Megachurch Project. Through surveys conducted by his team, Dr Joel gathered insights on how congregants view life through the lens of faith and translate that faith into public life, addressing topics such as politics, socio-economic issues, cultural values, social media, and the COVID-19 pandemic. The study revealed meaningful findings that may influence public policy and the study of religion. ++++++++ The Global Pentecostal Voices (GPV) movement was created to bring scholarly focus on issues that are critical to sustaining the Pentecostal vibrancy of Majority World Christianity, bridging the divide between academia and ministry, and creating a symphony of wisdom, knowledge, and action.
