Inspired by an incarnational theology that emerges from a missional reading of Luke 10, Chung and Meehan went out to discover the stories of contemporary disciples who labor in the harvest fields of God's uncommon, upside down Kingdom. The stories that emerge describe the work and presence of the Spirit in communities across North America, where ordinary, faithful people and churches embrace the Spirit's invitation by sharing themselves with their neighbors.

This study employed the Double Bind Theory. Two hypotheses set for the study were: (H1;) Protection-rejection behavior of paternal community and: (H2) Protection-rejection behaviour of the maternal community during and after inter-communal conflicts determines anxiety- depressive disorders among young adults born of inter-communal families. A sample of 10 Oku, 10 Mbessa, 10 mixed Oku-Mbessa and 10 mixed Mbessa-Oku young adults were selected. After passing the HADS test, 03 mixed participants with highest scores were given clinical interviews.From the scores on the thematic content analysis, results showed that the three participants were victims of ambivalent behaviours (6/6, 5/6, 5/6 respectively) and positive fo
