July 2006 editorial
Theme: Syncretism & Christian Missions
The Editorial Advisory Board welcomes a new member, Mr. Michael Jaffarian (Missionary Researcher, WorldVenture Global) to joint the team. He is a regular contributor and a great advocate for Global Missiology. 

In this issue, you will find the first of five out-of-print books (“CHRISTOPAGANISM OR INDIGENOUS CHRISTIANITY” ) donated by Dr. Ted Yamamori and the dissertation donated by Dr. Mark Hedinger to Global Missiology at the new “Resource Center” section. Thank you, Dr. Yamamori & Dr. Hedinger.  Be sure to visit this new “Resource Center” for free downloads in the future. 

Due to the newly discovered reality of the scarcity of French-speaking missiologists globally, the original plan of launching a French edition of GM has been scaled down to having just one page for the July issue. The Editorial Advisory Board met at the June ASM/APM meetings in Chicago with resolutions of adding the “Resource Center” section and planning to launch Spanish and Portuguese editions in the near future.
