Description
Summary:“Mission from the margins” is an important concept to help move toward a renewed vision of ecumenical mission praxis. This article examines the idea of mission from the margins in the context of the Nagas, an Indigenous (tribal) people in Northeast India. The article's aim is to identify the main internal factors that drive the marginalization of the Nagas, such as geographical isolation, poverty and migration, ecological injustice, exploitation of identity, culture, and values. This marginalization will be addressed in conversation with the mission document of the World Council of Churches, Together towards Life, exploring the possibilities of inclusive mission for a just community.
