Indigenous church mission theory
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Henry Venn (1796 - 1873) and Rufus Anderson (1796 - 1880) were contemporaries and the modern pioneers of indigenous church mission theory. They defined an indigenous church as one that is
- self-supporting
- self-governing and
- self-propagating
Roland Allen attempted to reapply these principles to the missions of his day, the early 1900s.
