| Summary: | Employing the perspective of ‘lived religion’, this article examines how Scottish missionary practices influenced the 1910 Edinburgh World Missionary Conference. Scottish intellectual and worship traditions intersected with commitment to cross-cultural relationships in the missional practices of J. N. Farquhar, Nicol Macnicol, and Annie Small. The juxtaposition of ‘fulfilment theory’ and ‘friendship’ reflected missionary openness to personal engagement with Indian religious and cultural traditions. Instead of being merely an intellectual preparation for ‘comparative religion’, Scottish fulfilment theory signalled an embodied missionary spirituality that emerged as implicit criticism of colonial hierarchies in India. |
