Center for Missiological Research
The Center for Missiological Research (CMR) draws a community of scholars from around the world to address seminal missiological issues through leading research, equipping students for faithful leadership in missiological education and practice. CMR oversees the PhD and ThM programs in Fuller’s School of Intercultural Studies, the Global Research Institute (GRI) postdoctoral fellowship program, and the annual Missiology Lectures, among other initiatives. This page highlights some of the ongoing research of School of Intercultural Studies faculty, CMR students, and CMR and GRI alumni, with links to more.
