  • Collaboration, Christian Mission and Contextualisation: the Overseas Missionary Fellowship in West Malaysia from 1952 to 1977
    Collaboration, Christian Mission and Contextualisation: The Overseas Missionary Fellowship in West Malaysia from 1952 to 1977 Allen MCCLYMONT A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of Kingston University for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History. Submitted June 2021 ABSTRACT The rise of communism in China began a chain of events which eventually led to the largest influx of Protestant missionaries into Malaya and Singapore in their history. During the Malayan Emergency (1948-1960), a key part of the British Government’s strategy to defeat communist insurgents was the relocation of more than 580,000 predominantly Chinese rural migrants into what became known as the ‘New Villages’. This thesis examines the response of the Overseas Missionary Fellowship (OMF), as a representative of the Protestant missionary enterprise, to an invitation from the Government to serve in the New Villages. It focuses on the period between their arrival in 1952 and 1977, when the majority of missionaries had left the country, and assesses how successful the OMF was in fulfilling its own expectation and those of the Government that invited them. It concludes that in seeking to fulfil Government expectation, residential missionaries were an influential presence, a presence which contributed to the ongoing viability of the New Villages after their establishment and beyond Independence. It challenges the portrayal of Protestant missionaries as cultural imperialists as an outdated paradigm with which to assess their role. By living in the New Villages under the same restrictions as everyone else, missionaries unconsciously became conduits of Western culture and ideas. At the same time, through learning local languages and supporting indigenous agency, they encouraged New Village inhabitants to adapt to Malaysian society, while also retaining their Chinese identity.

  • Transformation and Tradition in Global Mission Missions Organisations
    Transformation and Tradition in Global Mission Missions Organisations Conference, Cyprus 12-18 February 2003 Mission leaders experience 'beautiful solidarity in diversity' By Margaret S Larom In six intense days bracketed by 2000 years of Christian history, Anglicans from throughout the world explored the interlocking nature of continuity, change and context during a mission conference set in Cyprus, an island in the eastern Mediterranean Sea. The aim of the conference, entitled 'Transformation and Tradition in Global Mission,' was 'to explore new dimensions of our common mission.' By the end of their time together, approximately 110 men and women from 40 countries had recognised anew that the mission is God's, and that the Anglican Communion is uniquely qualified to serve that mission, if it uses the gifts God has given every member. In the view of the Rt. Rev. Jubal Neves, bishop of Southwestern Brazil, the event demonstrated a new incarnational approach to mission -- a 'beautiful solidarity in diversity.' Representing mission agencies, boards, and movements in most of the provinces of the Anglican Communion, they also represented every order in the church (bishop, clergy, laity, and religious). There were seminary deans and professors, provincial or diocesan staff members, voluntary agency executive directors and area secretaries, heads of special ministries and members of religious orders. There were members of the Anglican Consultative Council, the Inter-Anglican Standing Commission on Mission and Evangelism, and various official Anglican networks. There were church leaders who work essentially alone, among indigenous people or different faith groups, and others who function in complicated bureaucracies. More than half the group was ordained.

  • Intentional Discipleship: Jesus Shaped Life (ID:JSL ) Bulletin from the Anglican Communion’S Intentional Discipleship Co-Ordinating Group
    Intentional Discipleship: ID:JSL Bulletin Jesus Shaped Life Issue1 November 2020 Introducing Intentional Discipleship Welcome to this first issue of the Intentional Discipleship: Jesus Shaped Life (ID:JSL ) Bulletin from the Anglican Communion’s Intentional Discipleship Co-ordinating Group. In 2016 the Anglican Consultative Council called “every Province, Diocese and Parish in the Anglican Communion to adopt a clear focus on intentional discipleship and disciple-making”. Why Intentional? Because, as Archbishop Justin Welby has observed: ‘If you do not do something intentionally, you probably do not do it at all!’ The Bulletin will share good news, ideas, resources and good practice to promote this intentional discipleship. This learning will come from across the whole Anglican Communion. Your ideas, experience and resources are welcome: simply send them to us. Our goal is a change in culture to one that promotes the centrality to Anglican identity of a whole life discipleship . Biblical insights to encourage individual Christians will be shared and challenging questions asked of leaders, Churches, Colleges and other Institutions. The Five Marks of Mission: Living & Sharing Jesus Shaped Life The mission of the Church is the mission of Christ Christians in the Anglican Communion are followers of Jesus Christ who invite others, everywhere, to join them as disciples. Discipleship To proclaim the Good is about Living and Sharing Jesus Shaped Life. News of the Kingdom Inspired by the love, joy, peace and acceptance we have experienced To teach, baptise and in Jesus Christ, and aware of our shortcomings in discipleship, we are nurture new believers excited by the vision of every Anglican intentionally living and sharing Jesus Shaped life as our baptism covenant (Colossians 2.6).
