<transcy>The challenges of intercultural mission (Les défis de la mission interculturelle)</transcy>
Presentation
Missionaries today are faced with a flood of new ideas and methods designed to help them in their intercultural ministry. The new recruits arrive in their adopted country, overflowing with projects and good principles, but without knowing which to choose.
The book The challenges of intercultural mission aims to help the missionary to evaluate the different approaches in the ministry and to privilege those which place the relations above the programs.
