Several different constituencies within world Christianity held significant events around 2010. From 2005, an international group worked collaboratively to develop an intercontinental and multi- denominational project, known as Edinburgh 2010, based at New College, University of Edinburgh. This initiative brought together representatives of twenty different global Christian bodies, representing all major Christian denominations and confessions, and many different strands of mission and church life, to mark the centenary.

ABSTRACT Title of the study: "Contribution of Christian Missionaries Towards Development of Secondary Education in Assam Since Independence" Education is the core of all religions, because it prepares the heathen mind for the proper understanding and acceptance of the supremacy of his Creator. Thus, acquisition of Knowledge and learning is considered as an act of salvation in Christianity. The revelation in Bible clearly indicates that the Mission of Prophet of Christianity, Jesus Christ, is to teach his people about the tenets of Christianity and to show them the true light of God. As a true follower of Christ, it becomes the duty of every Christian to act as a Missionary of Christianity. The Missionaries took educational enterprise because they saw it as one of the most effective means of evangelization. In India, the European Missionaries were regarded as the pioneers of western education, who arrived in the country in the last phase of the fifteenth century A.D. The Portuguese Missionaries were the first, who initiated the modem system of education in India, when St. Xavier started a University near Bombay in 1575 A.D. Gradually, other Europeans such as the Dutch, the Danes, the French and the English started their educational efforts.

Dmitri Hurlbut Introduction As long as scholars have been writing about the history of Nigeria, they have been writing about Christianity. After more than sixty years, however, it is time to take stock of this vast body of literature, and get a sense of where we have been and where we are going. It is my hope that the compilation of this relatively comprehensive bibliography, and a brief discussion of some of the gaps that need to be filled in the literature, will inspire scholars to take their historical research in exciting and novel directions. Based on a reading of this bibliography, I would like to suggest that future research into the history of Christianity in Nigeria should be directed in three broad directions. First, historians need to focus more research on the development of mainline mission churches following independence, because the historiography remains skewed in favor of independent churches.

  • The Call in Action World Tour: Asia Tracks 1–5
    Jan/Feb/Mar 2017 Jan 2017 The call in action world tour: Asia Tracks 1–5 Raj Patel (Track 2) Raj is regional manager for Asia and represented CMS at the bicentenary celebrations of the arrival of the first CMS missionaries in Kerala 200 years ago. The huge celebrations took place in Kottayam in November 2016, drawing up to 100,000 people. “Tens of thousands of people marched to the venue in earnest and vibrant celebrations of CMS missionaries 200 years ago,” said Raj. “The missionaries of old opened up a path for freedom, faith and faithfulness which was demonstrated by the commissioning of 210 Church of South India missionaries on Sunday. This vitality not only provides hope for Kerala, India and Africa but also for where the missionaries of old started their journeys. We must ready our minds and hearts in order to confidently and humbly accept what God is stirring. It is apt that this new wave of mission was honoured in such a joyous and momentous manner.” Bishop Irfan Jamil (Track 3) The Rt Rev Irfan Jamil is Bishop of Lahore in the Church of Pakistan. He visited the UK in 2016 to attend, among other events, the Asia: Prayer and Aware event “How to Roll Like Sahdu” a youth-focused event based on the life of Sadhu Sundar Singh, the Indian Christian mystic. The diocese of Lahore describes its mission as: “spreading the gospel of Jesus Christ through evangelism and the spiritual and socio-economic uplift of its members, in an Islamic context. In fulfilling its mission, the Lahore diocese recognizes the rich diversity of gifts both among men and women, and seeks to provide training where possible.” Joel Hafvenstein (Track 4) Joel and his family are mission partners with the Church of Scotland, serving with the United Mission to Nepal from Kathmandu.
