Dependence, Independence, Interdependence

This is a short essay that suggests that interdependence is the ideal in pastoral care and in missions, over dependence or independence. With the Western worldview focusing on independence and the Eastern worldview valuing a more dependent life, it is important to consider Biblical ideals... not simply cultural norms.

THE ROLE OF TRADE ROUTES IN THE SPREAD OF CHRISTIANITY

It is commonly thought that Christianity is a “Western” religion. This is understandable, since
Christianity took on the form of state religion in the West, and the great expansion of the
Christian faith in the past five centuries came predominantly from the Roman Catholic Church
and Protestant groups that developed out of the Roman church. With the exception of the
missionary movement of the Russian Orthodox Church during this time period, little church
growth and missionary expansion occurred in historically Asian churches.

WHOLISTIC EDUCATION IN THE CHURCH

Education in the church tends to focus on Bible training, evangelism, spiritual discipleship, and
church skills training. These generally do not need to be justified in the church. Most Christians
assume that these are normal, even necessary educative functions of the church. However, training that
is outside of these areas is often looked upon with suspicion in Evangelical churches. This paper will
look at the basis for wholistic training, and address some aspects necessary for such training to be
effectively carried out.
