The following missiological articles will be disappearing from the web on 26th October 2009. Read them while you have the chance.
Most of them were originally published in Missionalia, the journal of the Southern African Missiological Society (SAMS).

Anglican Journal: Indigenous Anglicans urged to pursue their dream of self-determining ministry:A native Hawaiian from The Episcopal Church has strongly encouraged indigenous Anglicans gathered here to pursue their dream of building a self-determining indigenous Anglican church in Canada.
“For some the vision of a Promised Land can be so overwhelming, but I believe for many of [...]
This week I discovered the Doctrine of Discovery, and discovered a whole can of worms that went with it.
It started innocently enough — I read a news item on the web about the Episcopal Church in the USA repudiating the “Doctrine of Discovery”, and blogged, semi-jocularly, about being behind the times in learning that some [...]
It is sometimes said that the media just don’t don’t “get religion”. I’ve said so myself on occasion. All too often religion reporting in the secular news media is biased, tendentious, inaccurate and uninformative. But today I discovered a refreshing exception — a brief announcement of the death of Ralph D. Winter, the missiologist, in [...]
Nicholas (Blackie) Sibiya died last week.
Ten years ago today we held a catechism class at his house in Mamelodi; tonight we will have a Memorial Service (Requiem, Panikhida) and tomorrow we will bury him.

Roger Saner posted a couple of interesting pieces on his blog recently in preparation for the Amahoro Gathering this week, and for a while it looked as though there would be some interesting conversation, but now it unfortunately seems to have fizzled out.
In a comment on another post Roger said:
Brian McLaren is currently in Canada, [...]
Bishop Alan’s Blog: Birds of a feather?:
I’ve been reading Bill Bishop’s book The Big Sort: How the clustering of like-minded America is tearing us apart. This shows the devastating effect on social cohesion of gated communities in many areas of American life. But this is not just a sociological problem; it’s a missional issue. What [...]
A few years ago quite a lot was heard in missiological circles about the “Gospel and our culture movement”. Inspired by Lesslie Newbigin, it was concerned about the re-evangelisation of Western culture. In recent years it seems to have dropped out of sight, perhaps to be replaced by the “emerging church” movement, which seems to [...]
One of the things that has struck me about the emerging/missional church movement is that it seems to have attracted mostly white people.
Some people have noticed it and commented on it, but few have sought to explain it. Yesterday, however I came across a blog that not only commented on it, but also tried to [...]
There is a new missiological discussion forum, which is actually a revival of a very old one. It is a discussion list for teachers, practitioners, and students of missiology from all Christian perspectives.
For those who don’t know, missiology is the academic study of Christian mission, also sometimes called Mission Studies (and yes, even in universities [...]
