Near the end of the 20th century, many Christian churches experienced a shift from modernity to postmodernity in what became known as the emerging church movement. Shields puts the Community of Christ within this movement after World War II when the church expanded its missionary efforts to Asia. He notes similarities between the movement and the Community of Christ in their theological developments and resulting expressions of faith.
