  • Biblical Missiology: Class Notes
    Biblical Missiology: Class Notes 1. Introduction to Missiology Missiology is the study of Christian mission… especially cross-cultural mission. It considers how missionaries introduce the gospel to a new place, make disciples, and start churches. It draws on scholarship in the fields of biblical study, history, geography, sociology, psychology, linguistics, cultural anthropology, and in some contexts medicine and agriculture. Missiology is an interactive discipline. We interact with THEOLOGIANS (who know the Bible) and with MISSIONARIES (who know the people). A missiologist should challenge Bible scholars to be practical in the real world. A missiologist should also challenge missionaries to think biblically. To be a good missiologist, you will need an intelligent mind and a wide general knowledge. You will also need EXPERIENCE of mission work. If you have never been a MISSIONARY, you cannot be an effective MISSIOLOGIST. That would be like a car mechanic who never gets his hands dirty, or a cook who never goes into the kitchen. As students of biblical missiology, our responsibility is to consider: 1. How the gospel was defined and then proclaimed by Christ and his earliest apostles, 2. How the authentic gospel has been carried into all the world since then, 3. How we ourselves may be effective in proclaiming the gospel and discipling people from every ethnic group. World Trends, Opportunities and Strategies If we want to be effective in mission, we must address the issues of the modern world: 1. Increasing travel People travelling or living far from home will expect new experiences, choices, challenges and opportunities. They may be unsettled, traumatised, hopeful or ambitious.

Some of them would object even to this illustration of their engagement with what have come to be understood as two different world religions, and perhaps they are better described as pilgrims in uncharted territory. Nonetheless, my debt and gratitude, particularly to those I am privileged to call friends. Many librarians and archivists have been helpful and generous in my researches over the years. Related to this thesis, particular thanks are due to the librarians and archivists at the United Theological College in Bangalore, the archivists of the CMS collection at the University of Birmingham, and the librarians and archivists at the School of Oriental and African Studies in London. The late Fr. James Stuart of the Brotherhood House in Delhi provided access to books and abundant encouragement, and his successors there have continued to provide hospitable access. Thanks are also due to Bishop Raphy Manjaly and Rev. Joseph D’Souza of the diocese of Varanasi of the Roman Catholic Church for making copies of The Pilgrim in their possession available to me.

  • Mission at and from the Margins Report
    Report of the Colloquium – Mission At and From the Margins: Patterns, Protagonists and Perspectives The Colloquium ‘Mission At and From the Margins: Patterns, Protagonists and Perspectives’ was held at the Henry Martyn Institute, Hyderabad from the 22 nd to the 27 th of September 2009. The focus of the Colloquium was on the History of Christianity in the South Indian State of Andhra Pradesh, and particularly on how mission happened and happens At and From the ‘margins’ – the margins connoting the marginalized yet resilient Dalit communities. The Colloquium was an important part of a wider study project also entitled ‘Mission At and From the Margins: Patterns, Protagonists and Perspectives’ , which, intending to be a critical and constructive contribution to the Edinburgh 2010 Conference, was an attempt to understand the patterns, protagonists and perspectives of mission in Andhra Pradesh, both present and past, from a Dalit perspective as an attempt to recover the Dalit agency and agenda in Christian mission and draw their implications for the ecumenical imagination of the Church’s mission in the world today. 1 The Context In spite of the ongoing atrocities against them and continuing exploitation and oppression, Dalits are asserting themselves by writing themselves into history, celebrating Dalit religion and culture, actively engaging in the political processes of the country and converting to religious faiths that they perceive to be egalitarian – like Christianity, Islam and Buddhism. The fact that the Indian Church today is predominantly composed of Dalit communities can be attributed, to a great extent, to the positive influence of Christian Missions in their struggle for identity and emancipation.

  • The Witness of New Christian Movements in India
    Paper for the IAMS assembly in Malaysia 2004 IAMS Conf. Malaysia 31 July--7 Aug 2004 DRAFT PAPER 10,590 WORDS…. THE WITNESS OF NEW CHRISTIAN MOVEMENTS IN INDIA Roger E. Hedlund INTRODUCTION: This paper will focus on new Christian movements indigenous to India most of which are not well known to outsiders but are active, contextual and vibrant in witness. Indigenous Christianity which had significant growth in the twentieth century has roots in earlier attempts in Bengal, Tamil Nadu and Maharashtra. It includes the National Missionary Society and numerous other Indian initiatives. Asian incarnations of the gospel are found in historic as well as non-traditional Churches of several countries, but especially in India. Some of the independent Churches are perceived as deviant in theology or characterized by folk religious practices. Through their worship, practice and teaching many independent Churches respond to the day to day experience and grass-roots culture of the people. Theirs is a vigorous expression of Christian faith and witness of the Spirit in Asia today. HISTORIC PRECEDENCE An indigenous Church is one rooted in the culture from which it grows. Indigenous Christian movements are those which arise from within the local context. Unfortunately in India not infrequently Christianity is erroniously perceived as a foreign religion, less than Indian. The examples which follow are demonstrations of what Lamin Sannah calls “the translatability of the Gospel” as well as authentic Indian incarnations of Christian faith. “Translatability is the source of the success of Christianity across cultures.”1 The earliest example of indigenous Christianity in India is found in the St.
