Cross-Cultural Heritage examines the material and immaterial legacies of Christian missionary encounters across the world — from South America to Africa, Asia, the Pacific, and Europe. It explores how missions created hybrid cultural and religious expressions through complex interactions between Indigenous and Western traditions. Rather than one-way evangelization, these exchanges involved reciprocal cultural influence that continues to shape local landscapes, memories, and practices today.
