Published by the World Council of Churches, Geneva, as a print monograph; no stable public URL is recorded because the atlas has not located one for this specific title. Cite for mainstream ecumenical and African theological scholarship on African Initiated Churches' growth and internal diversity, alongside Sundkler's and Anderson's studies already cited elsewhere in the atlas.
