Fuller School of Intercultural Studies Blog (dormant)

This is the now-dormant blog site of Fuller's former School of Intercultural Studies. Here you’ll find insights from faculty and friends of Fuller’s School of Intercultural Studies: missional conversations, up-to-date information, reflection, and new ideas regarding missional engagement of the global church.

This is excellent material, so we have decided to maintain the accessibility of this material though this blog is no longer in use. We hope it continues to enrich your life and scholarship.
