Danielson & A. Sue Russell 2017 APM Annual Meeting Wheaton College, Wheaton, IL June 15 - 16, 2017 i Robert Danielson, Advisory Committee Member | About the Association of Professors of Mission Robert Danielson, Advisory Committee Member The Association of Professors of Mission (APM) was formed in 1952 at Louisville, Kentucky and was developed as an organization to focus on the needs of people involved in the classroom teaching of mission studies. However, the organization also challenged members to be professionally involved in scholarly research and share this research through regular meetings. In the 1960’s Roman Catholic scholars and scholars from conservative Evangelical schools joined the conciliar Protestants who initially founded the organization. With the discussion to broaden membership to include other scholars from areas like anthropology, sociology, and linguistics who were actively engaged in mission beyond the teaching profession, the decision was made to found the American Society of Missiology (ASM) in 1972. Since the importance of working with mission educators was still vital, the APM continued as a separate organization, but always met in conjunction with the ASM at their annual meetings. The APM continues as a professional society of those interested in the teaching of mission from as wide an ecumenical spectrum as possible. As an organization it works to help and support those who teach mission, especially those who often lack a professional network to help mentor and guide them in this task. Through its influence, the APM has also helped establish the prominence and scholarly importance of the academic discipline of missiology throughout theological education. ii iii Table of Contents | Table of Contents About the Association of Professors of Mission ............................ i Robert Danielson, Advisory Committee Member Foreword .................................................................................................. 1 Larry W.

Caldwell | Foreword Larry W. Caldwell Teaching Mission in the Complex Public Arena: Developing Missiologically Informed Models of Engagement The Association of Professors of Mission was organized in June of 1952 and held its first meeting during that year. This means that 2017 marked our 65th anniversary. Clearly teaching mission in 1952 was a lot different from teaching mission today. The missiological issues of 1952, during the beginning of the “golden years” of the Eisenhower administration, are not the missiological issues of today. That this is so is reflected in the very membership of the APM. For example, back in 1952 there were no women in the APM (the first woman didn’t join until 1962), and very few Roman Catholic professors (most didn’t start attending until the late ‘60s), or professors of color. And, back in 1952, the teaching of mission was quite simple for most: mission professors teaching missionaries and missionary candidates here how to do cross-cultural ministry somewhere over there. There was very little emphasis on local engagement. The theme of 2017’s meeting was “Teaching Mission in the Complex Public Arena: Developing Missiologically Informed Models of Engagement.” In 1952 there wasn’t much discussion, or really any discussion, about missiologically informed models of engagement. Sixty-five years later this certainly is no longer 2 the | Foreword case. For if we professors of mission today do not develop missiologically informed models of engagement, what we teach will likely fall on ears that will not hear. Why is this so? Because today our North American context constantly immerses us in complex contemporary issues that arise from the public arena: issues of racial justice, immigration, gender and sexuality, ecology and environment, to name but a few. Speaking to such issues responsibly from a missional perspective requires awareness of how religious language is heard, as well as how to have gracious dialog and loving engagement. Thus, during our two days together, we sought to consider this question: What should mission and the teaching of mission look like in our increasingly complex public arena? We considered how to negotiate contemporary landscapes in North America and worldwide with faithful Christian witness in our mission teaching and scholarship, including models of dialog and engagement. Embodying a missionally informed perspective in today’s world can be challenging. We can be uncertain about what will offend and what will resonate, what is respectful of social difference and what is faithful to what we have seen and heard. This is especially pertinent as we prepare students for mission work globally; equipping them to appropriately interact with their various complex environments. Our students are wondering how to effectively engage in their complex public arenas in both biblically and missiologically informed ways. The following papers help address some of these issues as we attempt to faithfully teach mission in the public arena. 4 5 Larry W. Caldwell | Conference Theme Association of Professors of

  • Kendrick Lamar's Collapsing of Hip Hop Realness and Christian Identity
    Linder: Kendrick Lamar’s Collapsing of Hip Hop Realness and Christian Ide Kendrick Lamar’s Collapsing of Hip Hop Realness and Christian Identity Matthew Linder Abstract In Danielle S. Macon’s “To Pimp a Caterpillar: Hip Hop as Vehicle to Spiritual Liberation through the Decolonization of European Ideology” about Kendrick Lamar’s To Pimp a Butterfly, she identifies Kendrick’s three-step process of liberation for African-Americans through spirituality: exhibition, revelation, and community orientation. I seek to place her analysis of Kendrick’s music within the context of Daniel White Hodge’s exploration of the neo-sacred secular in Hip Hop, a theological concept containing three elements: a belief that God is in all things, viewing life as having good and bad elements, and a rejection of religionism as the only way to God. Firstly, I will explore how Kendrick takes on himself the tropes of Hip Hop and African-American Street life, not to promote their virtues but to subvert them. Secondly, framing Kendrick’s presentation of an alternative identity built on his reframing of two Christian theological concepts: imago dei and identity as found in person and work of Jesus. Lastly, the process through which he bridges the gap between life in poor African-American urban spaces and Christianity to reconstruct Hip Hop realness in terms of sincerity and a common humanity, instead of the artificially-created litmus tests of Hip Hop authenticity. These three elements are then oriented in Kendrick’s music as the spiritual processes through which he strives to liberate himself, Compton, and his African-American community.
