Community: Native and Christian Values, Realities and Solutions

In this issue we explore the continuing and often frustrating conversations around culture and faith that have risen in the past 10 to 15 years or so (depending upon place). During this period, a wave of awareness of the role of Indigenous people in mission has swept the planet drawing many into its circle. A re-visitation of culture and its function — or lack of—in authentic Christian faith has been at the center of this Spirit-led move to understand the position of indigenous people in the body of Christ. In response, several position papers have been issued from various Native ministries in North America and elsewhere, which have elevated the debate to an often-fevered pitch. Into this debate have waded committed people from both sides of the issue.
