Temna Meren

Temna Meren, a PhD student in Intercultural Studies at Asbury Theological Seminary, Wilmore, KY, USA, was born and raised in Nagaland, India Northeast, as an ethnic Naga Christian surrounded by the opportunities and challenges of India’s cultural and religious diversity. He also served as a youth pastor in Nagaland for about seven years. Temna says, ‘Naga culture will give you a glimpse of what an oral community would look like.’ Being a Naga, Temna asks questions about the effective ways of Christian discipleship and spiritual formation in the oral preference cultural context.
