Abstract
Emphasizing the agency of indigenous actors in mission, they affirmed German Protestant leaders were well-positioned to restore their place in ecumenical Christianity following the war. [...]the German-American Protestant exchange loses some of its historical complexity, and the agency of German Protestants in these partnerships is diminished. For historians of religion and mission, Enns's description of missional divergence within Protestantism helps explain in part how evangelical Protestants in both the United States and West Germany increased their share of the religious marketplace in the face of secularization, while ecumenical Protestants slid further into post-Protestant secularism.
