Conference: PA, USA, November 2017

This is not about mainstream bible translation. It is though very much about Gospel work, and about translation. It is not only the Bible that needs translating after all. Yet there is much translation expertise 'locked up' in bible translation that could benefit the wider missions' community. Note the sentence: "exclusive use of indigenous languages, and indigenous resources should be the norm for some intercultural workers" in the flyer above. It is extremely common for, while bibles are translated into diverse mother tongues, mission efforts including those of theological education continuing using English. This can make indigenous-language bibles into mere ornaments. Amongst other things, this conference will seek to counter such.
