About
Thomas Scarborough

Mirjam Scarborough (nee Meier — 1957-2011) was a Congrega­tional minis­ter, a doctor of philosophy, a co-director of the World Evangelical Alliance's Inter­na­tional Institute for Relig­ious Freedom, and execu­tive editor of the Inter­na­tion­al Journal for Religious Free­dom. She was treasured for her ministry in the local and area Church. The contents of the book "Called to Mission" were originally presented to the University of Cape Town for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. In September 2009, she ob­tained her docto­rate — yet, tragically, was diagnosed with end-stage bone marrow cancer just three months later. Believing this work to be a treasure, her husband Thomas Scarborough took on the task of prep­ar­ing it for publication. The book does not merely represent the duplication of a dissertation. Knowing that her health was in decline, Mirjam Scarborough wrote as much for the church as for the university.
