Japanese Bonsai or/and California Redwood?

Abstract

Though he does not use the term, Professor Corwin also writes on the “mutuality” theme. He, too, believes that our contributions to each other will be in differing areas. While warmly embracing indigeneity as a crucial dimension of church planting and development, the author calls attention to selective Western perspectives — quite different from the transplanted forms of earlier generations — that may still enrich particular Asian churches. Side-by-side partnership facilitates the two-way transferral of cultural strengths.
