Summary

In this conclusion, I pose the following question: What inferences or generalizations can one draw from this traversal of cross-cultural interactions between indigenes and missionaries? In particular, what light can this study shed back on the state of religion and spirituality in the West? Given that the study of World Christianity seeks to overcome the barrier between the “West” and the “rest” by noting the reciprocal effects of one on the other in an interdependent world, this question is an important one.
