  • The State of Pentecostalism in Southeast Asia: Ethnicity, Class and Leadership
    ISSUE: 2015 NO.53 ISSN 2335-6677 RESEARCHERS AT ISEAS – YUSOF ISHAK INSTITUTE SHARE THEIR UNDERSTANDING OF CURRENT EVENTS Singapore | 25 September 2015 The State of Pentecostalism in Southeast Asia: Ethnicity, Class and Leadership By Terence Chong1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY • The independent Pentecostal movement has been growing rapidly in Southeast Asia in recent decades. This is significant for several reasons. Firstly, to a large extent the Pentecostal movement is driven by upwardly mobile, middle-class ethnic Chinese. In countries where the ethnic Chinese are in the minority, Pentecostal churches and cell groups are crucial spaces for social networking, business contacts and identity- making. • Secondly, the movement’s appeal to the middle class suggests that this growth is not going to taper off in the face of increasing economic development and mass consumerism in the region. Just as important, however, is the movement’s attraction for the poor and the working class in urban centres like Manila. This suggests a broad appeal across economic strata. • Thirdly, the central stature of the charismatic leader in Pentecostal churches means that senior pastors enjoy great deference and sway over large congregations. The charismatic leader may either be a ‘Joshua Generation’ leader or one with a ‘redemption’ biography. Both types are deeply authoritarian in character because the charismatic leader is supposedly entrusted to articulate God’s will and vision for the church. 1 Senior Fellow and Coordinator of the Regional Social and Cultural Studies Programme ([email protected]). This paper draws from ongoing research at the ISEAS-Yusof Ishak Institute on Pentecostalism in Kuala Lumpur, Singapore, Surabaya, Jakarta and Manila.
