The Italian-speaking diaspora
The Italian diaspora in the UK includes long-established communities in London, Bedford, and Peterborough — many now third or fourth generation — as well as a newer wave of young Italian professionals who arrived post-2010. Italian evangelical and Pentecostal Christians are a growing minority in an overwhelmingly Catholic country; many attend English-language charismatic or evangelical churches when in the UK. Italian-speaking communities are also significant in international churches in Switzerland, Belgium, Germany, and Luxembourg.
Bible availability in Italian
Italian has several major Bible translations including the Nuova Riveduta (NR2006), the CEI Bible (Conferenza Episcopale Italiana), the Parola del Signore, and the La Bibbia di Gerusalemme. Both Catholic and Protestant Italian readers have strong familiarity with Italian biblical vocabulary.
Using Voco for Italian church translation
Italian diaspora members in English-language evangelical and Catholic churches often have good conversational English but still engage most deeply with scriptural teaching in Italian. For Catholic parishes serving Italian communities, Italian translation of homilies and teaching is a significant pastoral provision. Voco makes this possible without the complexity of running a separate Italian-language service.
