Displacement

Indigenous Peoples, Land, and Mission

<p>The legacy of boundary-crossing colonial mission includes massive displacement—of native peoples from their homelands in Africa and the Americas, and of the produce of many lands, such as sugar, tobacco, and opium, for imperial purposes. The coerced movement and violent destruction of bodies and goods entails further displacements of psyches and families, cultures and languages. Any theology of mission that commends Jesus's call, that advises packing up and moving across borders, must reckon with the history of missional displacement.<br></p>
