"…Gospel and Culture
The Gospel is always presented and received within a cultural context. It is therefore essential to clarify the relationship between Gospel and Culture, both in theory and practice, recognizing that there is both good and evil in all cultures. We commit ourselves to continue to demonstrate the relevance of the Christian message to all cultures, and ensure that missionaries learn to wrestle biblically with the relationship between Gospel and culture. We commit ourselves to serious study of how different cultural perspectives may enrich our understanding of the Gospel as well as how all worldviews have to be critiqued and transformed by it…"

ROUNDTABLE DISCUSSION re the Utilization of Ethnic Music / Ethnomusicology in Church Planting / Missions - Vancouver, BC - early Feb.2002
SIL Ethnomusicology Dept. offers courses - The SIL Ethnomusicology Department will again offer courses geared toward preparing missionaries for effective cross-cultural music ministry at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in Ft. Worth, TX during the summer of 2000. The introductory course (Applied Ethnomusicology) will also be offered January 10-14, 2000. The summer courses consist of a suite of three graduate courses which can be taken individually. Applied Ethnomusicology is a two credit hour course which covers the philosophy and tools for cross-cultural music ministry. It can be taken by missionaries without formal musical training. Course date is
June 19-23, 2000 (as well as January 10-14, 2000). The other two courses are taught concurrently. They are Analysis of Non-Western Music and Field of Ethnomusicology/Anthropology of Music. The latter two courses are three credit hours each and will be held July 10- August 9, 2000. Those wishing further information may contact the SIL Ethnomusicology Office either by email at <ethnomusicology@sil.org> or
by phone at 972-708-7517 or fax at 972-708-7380. Our mailing address is 7500 W. Camp Wisdom Rd., Dallas, TX 75236.
