The Mylapore Institute for Indigenous Studies is an outgrowth of an ongoing research programme that has for its primary focus the CHURCHES OF INDIGENOUS ORIGINS in India. The Institute was conceived to suppliment and facilitate research as an essential part of continuing education. Research has documented the esistence of a little-known, vigorous indigenous Christianity in India. "The emergece of independent churches around the world expressing indigenous forms of Christianity is undermining the equation of Christianity with Western culture," states Paul Hiebert. In the face of rising religious fundamentalism this reality is particularly timely for India today. Leaders from the inddigenous Church groups have a stroy to tell. They need to be helped to preserve and promote indigenous Christianity through building a credible biblical theological foundation. MIIS offers a new way forward.
