The concept has persisted and remains a viable tool in spite of having often been discarded as archaic, outmoded and abandoned in favor of partnership, or other newer strategies. It resulted as a reaction to the missionary paternalism that prevailed within the church and mission circles during that period and has carried forward to this present time."engWith permission of the license/copyright holderIndigenousChurchAfricamissionmissionaryIntercultural and contextual theologiesIndigenous theologiesAfrican theologiesChristian denominationsArticle
