Highlights
Pamphlet 2 deals with the question from the perspective of the so-called 'First Nations' of Canada, the aboriginal communities
The authors recall the historical effort to take away the language, tradition and culture of the aboriginals in the effort to christianize them. They tell the story of the re-emerging of language, tradition and culture of the aboriginal people and of the very conscious effort to integrate their culture with the story of the gospel
They tell of the 'newness that Christianity brings' (48) to their traditional ways, and that newness is Jesus Christ! But this is a Jesus who is not distorted by a 'Western civilized' image, but a Jesus as the Bible reveals him and interpreted by the aboriginal culture for the aboriginal people
Summary
Pamphlet 2 deals with the question from the perspective of the so-called 'First Nations' of Canada, the aboriginal communities. The focus of the World Council of Churches' 1996 world conference on mission and evangelism was the question: 'How is the one gospel related to the many cultures of the world? '. These two pamphlets deals with that question, each from its own perspective.
