The Edinburgh 2010 study process is unique. Set up to mark the centenary of the World Missionary Conference, Edinburgh 1910, it is a project of churches worldwide which is multi-regional, cross-denominational and poly-centric. It involves all the major Christian world bodies, including Catholic, Orthodox, Protestant, Evangelical and Pentecostal, with study events taking place in every continent that involve hundreds of Christians in different parts of the world. This volume, the second in the Edinburgh 2010 series, includes reports of the nine main study groups on different themes which will be used as the raw material for discussions at the conference in June 2010. Their collaborative work brings together perspectives that are as inclusive as possible of contemporary world Christianity and helps readers to grasp what it means to be witnessing to Christ today.

Witnessing to Christ in North East India

Edinburgh 2010 has a special relevance for Christians in India, particurlarly when we consider the contributions Indian Christians continue to make both academically and in their day-to-day lives to living out and promoting interfaith relations and interfaith dialogue. For the typical Indian Christian, living with a neighbor of another faith is a daily reality. This pluralism has influenced Christians in India to view ecumenism in a realistic and appreciative manner.The essays in this book reflect not only this acceptance and celebration of pluralism within India but also, by extension, an acceptance of and a need for unity among Indian Christians of different denominations. The essays were presented and studied at a preparatory consultation on Study Theme II: Christian Mission among Other Faiths, under the theme Interfaith Relations among Other Faiths at the United Theological College, Bangalore, India, July 17-19, 2009.
