Yale-Edinburgh Group Report
The Yale-Edinburgh Group held its meeting at New College, the University of Edinburgh from June 23 to June 25, 2016. The theme of this year’s meeting was “Responses to Missions: Appropriations, Revisions, and Rejections.” Approximately eighty global scholars gathered for the meeting.
This year, two CGCM students presented their papers at the meeting. Laura Chevalier, Ph.D candidate at the Boston University School of Theology, gave a presentation on her paper, “Spirit-Filled homes and kids: how nurture and revivals at Mukti mission schools and Assiout orphanage contributed to the spread of global Pentecostalism,” and Younghwa Kim, M.Div graduate, presented his research on “Ahmadi Muslims’ response to Christian missions in Northern India and the expansion of Ahmadiyya in Africa.”
