Mission In The 21st Century
$30.00
A provocative, international collection of essays that challenges current thinking on mission and the world Christian movement.
Aimed at practitioners, church leaders, academics, and students of mission and world Christianity, Mission in the Twenty-First Century offers insights on the theology and practice of mission in our age. It brings together authors from around the world and a variety of social locations to offer both practical and scholarly reflection on practice, case studies and stories, and pressing contemporary questions. Addressing the “five marks of mission” identified by the Anglican communion – evangelism and proclamation; discipleship; social service; social transformation; and ecological concern – chapters examine these touchstones of authenticity in the context of such intercultural processes as globalization, migration, Islam, “old Christendom,” peacebuilding, and reconciliation. Contributors include Desmond Tutu, Jehu Hanciles, Anne Marie Kool, David Zac Nirigiye,Tony Gittins, Lamin Sanneh, Ashish Crispal, Melba Maggay, Hami Tutu Chapman, Gerald Pilay, Kwame Bediako, and Moonjang Lee.

Praying is participating and offering gratitude to God, and we are reminded that our Lord will not force a blessing upon us–receive and give thanks.
