Indigenizing and Decolonizing Theological Education

In this issue we present the papers of the third symposium on mission and theology in Native North America. We explore the challenge and purpose of education as it pertains to the preparation of indigenous North Americans for mission and ministry. We examine education’s role in shaping the thinking and responses to the community, its issues and the wider mission field.
