| Summary: | The story of Christian missions among Native North American tribes continues to be fiercely debated both in the church and in the academy. I offer the following study of missionary-theologian Carl F. Starkloff, who has devoted the past 40 years of his life to these issues, as a particularly effective contemporary example of someone engaged in this encounter. I consider three distinct periods in Starkloff's pursuit of successful inculturation, periods that mirror larger missio-logical movements within the Catholic Church since Vatican II. According to Starkloff, we should be prepared to endure some “theological messiness” in our experiments toward genuine inculturation. |
