The Helping Relationship in Missionary Work
A relationship with others which will permit us to help them at the deepest personal level of their need requires that we accept ourselves as we are. The maintenance of distance by manner of life, by a judgmental attitude, or by an impersonal, official relationship may protect our precarious self-image, but it also projects to the other our rejection of him. A helping relationship requires that we be open enough to be vulnerable which we will be …

Africanization and African Studies
In connection with the founding of a Protestant seminary for French-speaking Africa, 1 and particularly in connection with the formation of an African Studies Department in that seminary, Dr. Reyburn presents this analysis of the nature of the Africanization which has already taken place — the unconscious and subtle reorientation of the Christian message as received from the West into African points of view. Dr. Reyburn will be teaching part-time…
Identification — Symptom or Sublimation
Two years ago, Dr. Reyburn presented an article entitled “Identification in the Missionary Task.” 1 There he described personal experiences in the field and pointed out some of the limitations encountered in identifying. That article emphasized the need for close contact between sender and receiver in the process of communication. There was a protest launched against pietism which tends to put man out of touch with the world about him. In his pre…
Christian Responsibility toward Social Change
In this article Dr. Reyburn reports on a conference on rapid social change, and gives a summary of a paper by Professor E. de Vries at that conference. He follows with a review of the first section of the conference report. These aspects of the conference which he discusses are more closely related to the purposes of Practical Anthropology than are some of the others. However, each reader would be well advised to obtain the report and examine car…
Sickness, Sin, and the Curse
This is the second article in a series which will take up in detail the relationship between the Old Testament and contemporary Africa (south of the Sahara) in relation to the communication of the gospel and to the life and thinking of Christians. Here the parallel between the Old Testament concept of the relation between sickness, sin, and curse, on the one hand, and the very similar present-day African concept is discussed. The next article in …
Identification in the Missionary Task
With experience ranging from the Andes to the grasslands of West Africa, Dr. Reyburn approaches the much-discussed subject of missionary identification with refreshing insight. Few missionaries have tried (and succeeded) in “identifying” with as many different peoples on two such different continents as have the Reyburns. But, as Reyburn says in this article, it is not the sheer quantity of identification that counts. Rather, he explores the obst…
Polygamy, Economy, and Christianity in the Eastern Cameroun
Polygamy as a desired form of marriage among the tribes represented in this study appears to be inseparably linked with economic aspects of life as these are developing in the eastern Cameroun today. Motivations for polygamy are a complex set of cultural factors which have not and will not be readily changed. Christianity in its total condemnation of polygamy has failed to discriminate between things which are totally different. The emphasis upon…
