No Continuing City
Doug Priest Jr. grew up in Ethiopia as the son of missionary parents. He and his family served for a decade as missionaries among the Maasai peoples of East Africa. He earned his Ph.D. in Intercultural Studies from Fuller Theological Seminary, and now resides in Singapore as Asia Coordinator for the Christian Missionary Fellowship.
As a gift to Edna and the children on the occasion of their golden wedding anniversary, Tippett completed his autobiography, ironically just months prior to his death. Containing personal reflections on his childhood and later mission experiences in the South Pacific, relationship with Donald McGavran and the founding of the School of World Mission, and retirement years in Australia, No Continuing City is the inside story.
These are Tippett’s Personal reflections that can be found in no other publication. Twenty years as a missionary in Fiji, following pastoral ministry in Australia and graduate degrees in history and anthropology, provide the rich data base that made Alan R. Tippett a leading missiologist of the twentieth century. Tippett served as Professor of Anthropology and Oceanic Studies at Fuller Theological Seminary.
