This approach has come out of my own experience which I define as ‘God in loving union with us, the embodiment of spiritual reality enfleshed through our lives, empowered by the Holy Spirit in our participation and engagement with God in the world’. I present this as a Pentecostal pastor and missionary, with a belief that God can be encountered in the immediate world, and human beings can encounter God. My experience, background and training influenced my approach of Incarnational Reality, and the compilation of my holistic, integrated curriculum within the dichotomies and varying perspectives presented by different denominations, Christian communities and cultures. During my missionary service of over 35 years, I have been involved in training mission workers among the poor and marginalised wherever I have been located. I have endeavoured to impart Incarnational Reality through the Holy Given International School of Missions which I direct in various nations. The literature review provides insight into trends and developments in missional theological education and training since the first age of Christian history. It draws broadly on wide-ranging literature in missional theological education and identifies the strengths and weaknesses of the church’s approach to missional theological education and training. Key themes and principles which informed the development of my own Incarnational Reality approach to missional theological education and training have been identified and discussed. I have drawn insights from a range of methodologies and theories, and have woven together hermeneutics, phenomenology, ethnography, narrative disciplines and transformative learning perspectives in a Living Theory methodology, which has allowed me to draw from my own mission experience in confirming my Incarnational Reality approach to missional theological education and training. The value and contribution of Incarnational Reality as an approach to missional theological education and training has been confirmed as students described transformative learning experiences and understanding of concepts taught through the Holy Given curriculum, community living, worship (including communal, participative, spontaneous and indigenous worship), and outreach. The results of this research highlighted that the pedagogical role and ministry of the Holy Spirit is the epistemological key in facilitating transformative learning (John 20:21-2). This does not happen in isolation, but in relationship – human with the divine, and humans with one another. This study also identified areas for improvement and development of my own practice and that of my teaching staff. This research is a rich picture of my own mission context and practice and has allowed me to make assertions and knowledge claims regarding the transfer of my practice, values and beliefs to generations of future mission workers.

A huge thank-you to the most amazing parents in the world, Eric William and Hilda Leighton and to my brother Paul Andrew, who have all supported me in whatever I have taken on, always. You cannot fail when their kind of love is backing you. I am immensely grateful to John and Kara Kim for your ongoing, generous support and financial investment in this project. Many thanks to Evangelisches Missionswerk (EMW) in Germany and Mr O.H. Lee for scholarships afforded me with the Oxford Centre for Mission Studies (OCMS) in the final stages of my research. Undergirding and strengthening all this, a massive thank-you to all those people who have faithfully stood with me through your prayers on this journey and fed me along the way. Finally, I applaud and thank every student who courageously opened their hearts and said ‘yes’ to God and collaborated with me in this project. You have enabled me to draw a picture of the magnificent work of the Lord Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit through your lives.

  • Forms and Forums of Expression
    CHAPTER TWENTYSIX FORMS AND FORUMS OF EXPRESSION Istanbul and beyond, – ᇹᇺᇹ Tülay Artan ate eighteenth-century Ottoman history has conventionally portrayed Selim III L(–) as the reforming sultan who undertook to modernize – or European- ize – all military, administrative and economic affairs. Paradoxically, however, new research shows him to have been surrounded and guided by reformers of Islam, in par- ticular by followers of the Nakşibendiyye–Müceddidiyye sufi order, which stood for strict adherence to the sharia and the tenets of Sunni Islam, as well as their quite con- troversial Mevlevi or Melâmi allies.1 During the eighteenth century a serious agenda of renewal and reform in Islamic thought seems to have emerged both at the centre and in the provinces, extending to attempts at coming to terms with modern state formation.2 Much has been written about how, in traditional agrarian societies, virtually all social and political conflicts tended to be played out through religion.3 Ottomanists, too, have noted how, when economic, military and political disasters tended to dove- tail into a cultural crisis and hence a crisis of the elite, the Ottoman solution was always sought in piety or calls for a return to a ‘pure’ religion.4 How then are we to interpret the influence of reformers of Islam upon Selim III’s new political order? Behind the contentious history of eighteenth-century reformists in Istanbul, there lurks the prolonged seventeenth-century conflict between sufîs and the radical, often violently puritan, preachers inspired by a certain Kadızadeli Mehmed (d. ), a group characterized as a major component of the ‘long seventeenth century’ Ottoman crisis.
