Acknowledgement

Notes

† This article draws on 43 interviews conducted by the author and research assistants, primarily in Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, and the United States. The identities of most of the respondents, including church representatives and members, Western missionaries, and local experts have been concealed to guarantee their anonymity, given the political conditions in these countries. Names listed are pseudonyms, and dates of interviews conducted in Central Asia have been changed.

1. The numbers from the Kazakhstan 2009 census are very similar, with ethnic Russians, Ukrainians, and Germans, who were historically Christian, comprising 26.0 percent of the population (Statistical Agency of the Republic of Kazakhstan Citation2009).
