We are looking at the subject of the place of the convert from Islam in the local Christian church.

Should a Muslim convert break completely from Islam? We now address another important practical question. How can we integrate Muslim converts into the church in the West?

Sometimes totally new churches have been started for people from various ethnic communities. These churches have functioned closer to the cultural patterns that are familiar to the ethnic group.
