This paper explores the shifting roles played by Catholic missionaries heading formally secular NGOs within the historical landscape of Thai Catholicisms. It will be argued that some of these “development missionaries” are trying to promote a “de-Thaification” of normative local Catholicism with the aim to counter-indigenize the Gospels in favor of “non-Thai” marginal groups.

Abstract
This paper explores the shifting roles played by Catholic missionaries heading formally secular NGOs within the historical landscape of Thai Catholicisms. It will be argued that some of these “development missionaries” are trying to promote a “de-Thaification” of normative local Catholicism with the aim to counter-indigenize the Gospels in favor of “non-Thai” marginal groups.
