Since the 1970s, when Ralph Winter shook up the missions world with his prophetic view of ‘hidden peoples,’ many organizations and churches have considered ‘people group theology’ (and, correspondingly, ‘people group missiology’) the rule of the day. These days, some are asking, ‘Does it still apply? Do we still need it?’
This edition (of Evangelical Mission Quarterly this month) might inform your thinking. But what’s YOUR position? Please express your opinion in the comments. Thanks!
It seems to access this article requires a subscription.
Hello Harry and the group. Yes – I guess we’ll need to mention that every time we cite ANYthing from Missio Nexus. We respect the fact that they have to stay solvent for the long haul and, honestly, to us, the individual (personal) subscription isn’t unreasonable. For us, it makes a lot more sense that they allow people to pitch in somehow than if they go out of business like ACMC or Caleb Project? So – please… view it as an investment in the future. We pay a full subscription as an org and I admit, the org subscription is substantial, but so are their services. We’ll pray that God can provide for the subscription. Right now.
Yes, subscription is a real problem – esp. for those with very limited resources, and no access to corporate organizational funds or subs. Wanting to stay informed and engaged it seems you have to spend heaps of dollars… I wished Christian mags would adopt an attitude similar to secular publications who either politely ask for a donation (and seem to get them, see The Guardian) – or at least allow you access to a few articles per month, so you can pick on a few. Alas, no such generosity here…
DIsappointing, I was really interested in reading this article.
Unfortunately until anyone can access the article we will not be able to comment it.
Once retired from a member mission organization you also can’t access it anymore. Disappointing.
