Missional Impossible?
Manage episode 300419208 series 2873627
Mariia Alekseevskaia emigrated to Canada from Russia. While still in her homeland, she discovered Dutch Reformed Theology and how its adherents have a passion for Christian Schools. Mariia studied sociology at the University of Ottawa and wrote her PdD thesis on Canadian Reformed schools and education (link below). Though her study of Canadian Reformed School culture in Ontario did not investigate church planting or missional churches, our hosts engage Mariia in a fascinating discussion about reaching the lost in light of her findings.
Dutch immigrants very quickly assimilated into Canadian culture, with respect to language and business, but maintained a definite educational culture. Is this separation an aid or a hindrance to reaching the lost?
Here is a link to Mariia’s PhD thesis (available for downloading in a .pdf format): https://ruor.uottawa.ca/handle/10393/42246
