Migration
Abstract
International migration significantly impacts religious practices, particularly for Christian migrants in East and Southeast Asia. Migrants often rely on religious institutions for support and community in their new environments. The migration of Christians also contributes to the growth of Christianity in some countries, such as China. However, migrants may also face religious discrimination or challenges practicing their faith due to work schedules or societal norms in their host countries. The intersection of migration and religion highlights the dynamic and evolving nature of religious belief in a globalized world.
