About

Welcome to the course blog for the Spring 2013 semester's History of Christian Missions course at Eastern Nazarene College in Quincy, MA.  Although this course surveys broadly the entire mission endeavor of the global Christian church, students enrolled in the course will be delving a little more deeply into one particular case by reading from The Other Sheep, the missions periodical of the Church of the Nazarene between 1913 and 1971.  This blog will be used to post our reflections on the theory and practice of mission at work in the Church, as reflected in our reading of The Other Sheep.  Expect to learn a lot of interesting lessons along the way!

By the way, if you have questions about the History of the Church of the Nazarene, there's no better resource than the Archives office housed at Nazarene Headquarters in Lenexa, KS (or get introduced to them on their Facebook page).  Stan, Meri, and the rest of the staff there are a veritable fount of knowledge!
