"May we theologians never forget for whom our theologies speak; may we musicians remember the songs that make our hearts sing." @calidachu

This slide from the Congo Balolo Mission shows the port of Conakry on Tombo Island, now in Guinea, ca. 1920-1930. Men in flat-bottomed boats can be seen over the harbour wall as three other men (possibly missionaries) are winched up to the harbour. (CSWC33/OS12/43) #PhotoFriday

Yesterday, we celebrated the 10-vol Edinburgh Companions to Global Christianity (@EdinburghUP). 🥂🎉 With us were editors Kenneth Ross (Centre honorary fellow) and Todd Johnson, and contributing editors Mariz Tadros and Gina Zurlo. #WorldChristianity https://t.co/zvLJHQhiya

A collection from the interdenominational Regions Beyond Missionary Union gives us this image titled 'Walking in the street, India, ca. 1930'. (CSWC33/OS16/67) #PhotoFriday

Black and white lantern slide of street barbers, Canton, China, c. 1905-14. The long queue, or braid, of the man on the left suggests the image is from before 1912, after which the style was considered outmoded or a sign of support for the old regime. (CSWC47/LS1/57) #PhotoFriday

I first presented this paper on city #lament, #CCM and a grassroots theology at @UniOfStAndrews. Glad that this has now been published while I am a staff here, and at @CSWCEdinburgh’s journal, where I did my PhD. (1/2) #HongKongProtests https://t.co/AOYKtdFOsZ

We are glad to highlight Benjamin Aldous’s piece as our featured article of this issue. For a limited time, there is #NoPaywall and it is well worth being widely read! #MissionStudies #WorldChristianity #EcumenicalTheology #CSSong @EdinburghUP @ChurchesEngland

Doug Liao’s (@fullerseminary) article focuses on the Prachaniyom (‘Popular’) Version of the Bible in Thai, which adopted the dynamic equivalence translation principle — but ultimately failed to receive popular embrace. #bibletranslation 6/6 https://t.co/0SOiZw310h

@CalidaChu’s article looks at the way Contemporary Christian Music was used in the protests of the 2010s in Hong Kong, and demonstrates the ways that music represents a grassroots theology of lament. #CCM #HongKongeseChristianity #grassrootstheology 5/6 https://t.co/jejmkWVAgP

Benjamin Aldous (@ChurchesEngland) examines the theological and missiological contributions of C. S. Song, asking critical questions as to how Song can be better appreciated in #ecumenism in England. #NoPaywall 4/6 https://t.co/5zclipb1z3

The second article, written by Soojin Chung (@OMSCatPTS), looks at the relationship between the contemporary discourse of World Christianity, and the American academic developments of #EthnicStudies and the Third World Liberation Front. 3/6 https://t.co/KiWEtSb8lL

Kenneth Ross and Angus Crichton points to inequalities in scholarly publications heavily dependent on research conducted on, about and within the Global South, but often published at cost-prohibitive outlets in the Global North. #NoPaywall #OpenAccess 2/6 https://t.co/QZTf5Qw9O0

A group of women carrying bundles on their heads can be seen in the distance in this tinted slide of a path through the Okoyong forest, Calabar (Nigeria). The Scottish Missionary Mary Slessor visited the Okoyong forest people in June 1888. (CSWC47/LS2/24) #PhotoFriday

Jamaican Bush Hut, Jamaica, ca.1875-ca.1940. The Scottish Missionary Society sent missionaries to Jamaica in 1800. Two of the three died within weeks of arrival and a second group travelled to Jamaica in 1824 to instruct slaves on local plantations. (CSWC47/LS11/38) #PhotoFriday

Indian boys, ca. 1915. These smartly dressed boys in traditional clothing may be taking part in a religious festival. The image comes from a collection created by missionaries from Regions Beyond Missionary Union working in northeast India and Nepal. (CSWC33/OS15) #PhotoFriday

Speaking on my project on Indigenous religiosity & digitality at @IASH_Edinburgh (15 Oct). Curious how it lands among those working across the humanities, beyond my usual circles at @CSWCEdinburgh & @uoedivinity. Hybrid event. Feedback valued! https://t.co/eTUt0mSYW0
