DESCRIPTION:Glocalization of Korean Migrant Churches in West Germany\nSabr
 ina Weiß (CERES)\nAt the present time around 30.000 Koreans live in Germa
 ny. Since the 1970s\, some of them established up to 30 immigrant churches
  alone in North-Rhine Westphalia. These immigrant churches changed over ti
 me into diaspora churches\, which no longer serve as sanctuaries for the f
 irst generation of Korean migrants. One reason for processes of change was
  intern diversification due to further immigration of Korean students and 
 businessmen and intergenerational conflicts. A glocal perspective is\, con
 sidering the Korean diaspora churches in their social field\, stretched ou
 t between their place of residence\, countries of origin and the globally 
 connected communities as the starting point of analysis. The paper focuses
  upon three specific glocal religious activities: the exchange of guest pr
 eachers\, passion for foreign mission and civic engagement\, and donation 
 behavior. It concludes by noting that globalization facilitates the growth
  of glocal networks of religious actors.\nThis paper will be presented in 
 panel A Balancing Act: Minority Religious Communities and Processes of Tra
