Learning Missional Church - Reflections From Young Missiologists

58,29€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Cross-cultural mission has always been a primary learning experience for the church. It pulls us out of a mono-cultural understanding and helps us discover a legitimate theological pluralism that opens us for new perspectives in the gospel. Translating the gospel into new languages and cultures is a human and divine means of making us learn new "incarnations" of the good news.This book is composed of contributions from young missiolgists from different parts of the world. It is written from the perspective of youth to be a breath of fresh air into more traditional mission thinking and paradigms. The flavor of this new perspective, coming from the younger generation, is "learning from others and from one another": How might traditional sending churches and organizations see themselves as receivers? How might we bring experiences from outside into our own context? What might we learn across geographical borders--North learning from South, South learning North, South learning from South? What might we learn from one another in a process of reciprocity? "Mission as learning" is not just a welcome addendum to mission, but a necessity if we want God''s Spirit to reveal to us new dimensions of Jesus as he comes to be known and loved among "every nation, tribe, people, and language."A church that aims at being "a learning missional church" sorely needs "reflections from young missiologists," in the words of this book''s title and subtitle. The reflections are valuable because of the content and substance, because they deal with relevant issues; they are valuable because they depict the church as a "learning organization" cross-culturally; and they are valuable because they raise signs of youthful willingness to challenge and change. In this way these reflections may show the way toward Edinburgh 2110.

Life-Widening Mission - Global Anglican Perspectives

51,66€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Each of the young Anglicans who writes on the Five Marks of Mission was at the Edinburgh 2010 Conference in June of that year. The articles were then reworked in Toronto a year later, so what you read here is the fruit of much labor, writing, and rewriting. These articles are open and honest reflections from a range of young Anglicans in a variety of contexts. Here we see a glimpse of the strenths and struggles of the Anglican Communion. There is no space for complacency.The title of the book is based on the Chinese character for "life-widening," as explained by a contributor from Hong Kong. Mission is meant to be life-widening, after all. God is a God of love, life, and spaciousness, so we long for the Missio Dei to be practiced and received as life-widening.This book will likely disturb and challenge you as you read of the hardship and injustices experienced in many parts of God's world and creation today. But it is also sure to comfort and enrich you as you read stories of change and renewal, and as you meet the writers through their writings.

67,56€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 The purpose of this volume on mission and unity is to bring to public attention a broad overview of the history, development, and perspectives of the role of mission in the pursuit of unity and the central biblical focus on unity as a prerequisite for an authentic witness in mission. The volume raises concrete questions: If the churches can agree on unity for mission, then does this visible unity go any further than the "mutuality, partnership, collaboration, and networking" of the Edinburgh 2010 Common Call? Does the call to unity or communion imply common touchstones, structures, or ministries to serve the communion of churches in mission?

Freedom Of Belief & Christian Mission

de Aage Gravaas Hans Aage Gravaas e Sauer Christof Sauer

74,19€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Christian mission takes place in a world with increasing interreligious tensions, including violence and persecution. Politics, economics, religion, ethnicity, and other factors play a role in these tensions. Christians, too, are involved in such conflicts, sometimes as those who are persecuted and sometimes as those participating in violence. "Freedom of Religion and Belief" is a core value in the UN Human Rights Declaration. It is also a core biblical value. Obstacles to and attacks on freedom of belief are therefore a central concern for witnessing to Christ. The purpose of this volume, Freedom of Belief and Christian Mission, is to bring to public attention a broad overview of the history, development, and perspectives of the role of mission and freedom of belief and to reflect on these issues within a context of authentic witness in mission.
