| Summary: | Missiology can become so preoccupied with abstract global, national, or regional analyses of the Christian missionary task that it loses sight of the fact that all genuinely Christian missionary activity models the incarnation, practicing a theology of the neighbor that concerns itself with the felt needs of actual persons in everyday face-to-face encounters, whatever the context. This article illustrates this principle by tracing the roots of three of this century's outstanding mission accomplishments in India and Nepal to a “chance” encounter between two men in a YMCA shower in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, in December of 1929. |
