Summary: | Some missiologists have long recognized the potential of ethnomusicology contributing to missiology. But intentional investigations and systematic approaches for ethnomusicology applied to mission have emerged only sporadically, causing the discipline to appear tangential to the field. This article proposes a discipline of Christian ethnomusicology that locates it within the four arenas of a missiological paradigm: the mission context, the biblical text, the personal pilgrimage, and the faith community. The case of a new song workshop in West Africa among the Senufo is used to argue for the entry of Christian ethnomusicology into the guild of missiology as a full-fledged partner. |
