FORWARD IN MISSION: AN ECUMENICAL PARTNERSHIP 130 Bibliography 134 Index 153 vi PREFACE The completion of this research and its publication has been both an academic and spiritual satisfaction. It closes an important part of my life in ministry both in the church and the seminary. But it also affirms the blessing in that ministry: to be able to combine these two separate dimensions of ministry in a creative tension. This journey begins in Puerto Rico as a young pastor trying to discern the best way to more effectively serve God’s reign. My initial conviction that pastoral ministry was my vocation expanded as my ministry grew more multifaceted. Preaching, teaching, lecturing and advising became integrated in a dynamic process of local and international interaction. The journey included doctoral studies in Church History at Emory University (1971-1974). From 1974 until 1992 the ministry consisted of theological education and ecumenical service at the Latin American Biblical Seminary (Biblical University) in Costa Rica, Latin American Council of Churches, and the Ecumenical Research Department in Costa Rica. Upon my return to the United States (1992-2002) I was again deeply involved in theological education at Christian Theological Seminary in Indianapolis, Indiana. In 2002 the Latin American Evangelical Pentecostal Commission (CEPLA) and the Evangelical Pentecostal Union of Venezuela (UEPV) extended an invitation for me to join them as a missionary-consultant for both organizations, and the Common Global Board Ministries (CGBM) made the appointment. The narrative shared in this dissertation is intended as a witness of what the Pentecostal churches have shared with me for more than thirty years, as well as what my own churches in Puerto Rico and the United States have contributed to my life and ministry. I hope this book will help portray the complex, yet rewarding, experience of sharing for more than forty years in mission with two very different protestant denominations. The common witness of these two denominations in ecumenical partnership is a story worth telling to other churches and to the world. Many people have shared this journey, in different moments and circumstances. My wife Raquel has been a constant support and a faithful companion all the way. Her own service as a missionary and executive in mission is a blessing to us all. My two daughters, Nina and Margarita, are the living expression of God’s gift of love to us. They have endured in sharing and learning in mission during all these years in which they also became witnesses. Carmen Rodríguez-Rivera, my sister-in-law, provided an invaluable service in translating important material. The loving memory of my parents, Carmelo and Elisa, and my sister Elizabeth has been a witness of God’s love and peace as they continue to be a living presence in our lives. To this my loving family, mi familia, I dedicate this book. The late Robert A. Thomas and my friend Bill Nottingham deserve my deepest gratitude and recognition for supporting our ministry in good and bad times, always believing that our call was from God. I have served as a missionary under four executives in the Latin America and the Caribbean, first with the Division of Overseas Ministries of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) in the US and Canada, and then with the Common Global Board of Ministries of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) in the US and Canada and the United Church of Christ. These executives, Bill Nottingham, the late Ann Douglass, David Vargas, and Félix Ortíz, not only supported my work as a missionary, but also trusted in my capacity and willingness to serve, particularly in the Pentecostal churches. David Vargas was a key person in discerning, vii pondering, and supporting in very decisive moment. David Bundy and Julio de Santa Ana have been trusted friends and trusted colleagues. Over the years they have offered much encouragement, criticism and insightful observation in my academic work. My colleagues at Christian Theological Seminary in Indianapolis have been in more than one way a blessing from God. During the years I have served in different capacities at CTS under the leadership of Richard D.N. Dickinson and Edward L. Wheeler as presidents. I enjoyed their trusted friendship and support. In the process of completing this dissertation there are three persons that gave me their full support: Joyce Krauser, faculty secretary at CTS, who embraced this research as her own and offered not only professional assistance but also shared my passion for this project. Prof. Dr. Cornelis van der Laan and Prof Dr. Martien E. Brinkman, my advisors, provided not only the necessary advice and counsel, but also shared my enthusiasm, inspiring me to make every effort to conclude this investigation. Bishop Gamaliel Lugo of the Evangelical Pentecostal Union of Venezuela and his wife Elida have also offered their own vision, enthusiasm, and support during all these years. The Evangelical Pentecostal Union of Venezuela will always be close to my heart and mind: Yo les amo en el amor del Señor.

  • Integrity of Mission in the Light of the Gospel: Bearing Witness of the Spirit Among Africa’S Gospel Bearers
    Integrity of Mission in the Light of the Gospel: Bearing Witness of the Spirit Among Africa’s Gospel Bearers Paper Presented at the 11th International Conference of the International Association for Mission Studies By Philomena N. Mwaura Kenyatta University Department of Philosophy and Religious Studies Port Dickson, Malaysia 31st July – 7th August 2004 Introduction I count myself honoured to be asked to address this 11th International Conference of IAMS on the theme, “The Integrity of Mission in the Light of the Gospel: Bearing Witness to the Spirit.” When I was asked to contribute to this conference, I was notably delighted and alarmed. Delighted because of the gratiousness shown to me by the organizing committee; but nevertheless alarmed because the task presented a dilemma. To write adequately about the issues of integrity of mission, requires an exhaustive survey of the context and content of mission by the church in Africa in a context that is both diverse and complex. This was a daunting task bearing in mind that I do not consider myself a missiologist in the real sense of the word and neither am I a clergyperson or engaged in ministry on an active basis. Perhaps however, this gives me a privileged objective position from which to ask the questions, what is mission? What is the content and context of mission in Africa? What does integrity mean and how does it relate to mission? In what ways does the Church in Africa embody integrity of mission? What challenges face the Church in Africa today and how is she responding to them? How can the Church in Africa be better equipped to be a bearer of the Good News in an integral manner? This paper will address these questions bearing in mind that mission implies, “the calling of the church at every level and in every place to be part of God’s mission in the world” (Kirk 1999:24).

  • The Continued Relevance of David Bosch
    Mission Educators Forum: The Continued Relevance of David Bosch Dr John Corrie Introduction Thank you for the opportunity – even though I’m not teaching mission full-time now, my passion for mission and the teaching of mission is undiminished, as is also my passion for Bosch. So both those passions happily come together in this conference. I began teaching at ANCC in 1991, the year of publication of Transforming Mission, so that was a tremendous gift to me as I started to work out a theology of mission and how to teach it. I didn’t have a theology of mission before that – at least not one that was worked out. I had certainly not been given it at theological college, so I was working it out as I went along in ministry. So Bosch has been my ever-present friend and mentor as I have travelled that journey over the last 25 years. Students would say that if Barth had a newspaper in one hand and a Bible in the other, Corrie had Bosch in one hand and a Bible in the other. The key question I have grappled with over the years is this: what is our aim when we teach mission? One of my main aims has always be to give students the knowledge and tools to be able construct their own theology and ecclesiology of mission and to be able to use that in their future practice of mission. As we know there are theologies and ecclesiologies (plural) of mission and students need to be aware of the range of the alternatives and be able to critique them, including being aware of the strengths and weaknesses of their own approach.

  • Pentecostalism As Religion of Periphery: an Analysis of Brazilian Case
    Pentecostalism as religion of periphery: an analysis of Brazilian case Dissertation zur Erlangung des akademischen Grades Doctor philosophae (Dr. phil.) eingerichtet an der Philosophischen Fakultät III der Humboldt Universität zu Berlin Von Master of Science Brand Arenari Präsident der Humboldt Universität zu Berlin Prof. Dr. Jan-Hendrick Olbertz Dekanin der Philosophen Fakultät III Prof. Dr. Julia von Blumenthal Gutachter: 1: Klaus Eder 2: Jessé Freire Souza Tag der mündlichen Prüfung: 12.12.2013 1 Abstract All the analyses we have developed throughout this dissertation point to a central element in the emergence and development of Pentecostalism, i.e., its raw material – the promise of religious salvation – is based on the idea of social ascension, particularly the ascension related to the integration of sub-integrated social groups to the dynamics of society. The new religion that arose in the USA focused on the needs and social dramas that were specific of the newly arrived to the urban world of the large North-American cities, those who inhabited the periphery of these cities, those that were socially, economically, and ethnically excluded from the core of society. We also analysed how the same social drama was the basis for the development of Pentecostalism in Latin America and, especially, in Brazil. In this country, a great mass of excluded individuals, also residents of urban peripheries (which proves the non-traditional and modern characteristic of these sectors), found in Pentecostalism the promises of answers to their dramas, mainly the anxiety to become integrated to a world in which they did not belong before. Such integration was embedded in the promise present in the modernity of social ascension.

Copyright © 2005 Lausanne Committee for World Evangelization and its National Committees around the world [email protected] www.lausanne.org The context for the production of the Lausanne Occasional Papers The Lausanne Movement is an international movement committed to energising “the whole Church to take the whole gospel to the whole world.” With roots going back to the historical conferences in Edinburgh (1910) and Berlin (1966), the Lausanne Movement was born out of the First International Congress on World Evangelization called by evangelist Billy Graham held in Lausanne, Switzerland, in July 1974. The landmark outcome of this Congress was the Lausanne Covenant supported by the 2,430 participants from 150 nations. The covenant proclaims the substance of the Christian faith as historically declared in the creeds and adds a clear missional dimension to our faith.

  • Transforming Anglicanism: Elements of an Emerging Anglican Mission Paradigm
    255 JOHN CORRIE Transforming Anglicanism: Elements of an Emerging Anglican Mission Paradigm Few would question that Anglicanism is undergoing significant change at present but often this is not interpreted in a missional framework. John Corrie here offers such an approach to Anglican identity, arguing that we need to see beyond current conflicts to discern an emerging missional paradigm. He argues that this paradigm will be crucial for future Anglican unity and provide an approach to mission that is integral, sacramental and Trinitarian. Introduction You don’t need to be a missiologist to recognise my take on David Bosch’s Transforming Mission in the title of this article. The point of this echo is that I want to suggest that Anglicanism needs a new paradigm for its identity if it is to survive even to halfway through this century, and that that new paradigm needs to be missional. If a new paradigm is to emerge from out of the current crisis in Anglicanism then, as Bosch suggested was the case for his own thesis, it must have significant roots in the history of the tradition. The resources for renewed identity are, in other words, already there within Anglicanism. Bosch’s paradigm built upon six phases of Christian history identified by Hans Küng, taking from each of them what was of abiding significance and incorporating those elements into his own vision. Anglicanism needs to do something similar. It cannot deny its traditions and its history, but it has got stuck in an institutional and conflictual paradigm from which it can only be released by the transforming vision of mission.

  • Integral Mission: Is Social Action Part of the Gospel?
    Dr. Paul Barreca Fellowship International Mission Integral Mission: Is Social Action Part of the Gospel? Presented to the Council on Dispensational Hermeneutics September 18-19, 2019 Calvary University, Kansas City, MO Introduction Integral Mission is producing missionaries and mission movements that incorporate socio-economic engagement as an essential component of the gospel. This paper will evaluate the origin of Integral Mission and argue that the gospel is being re-defined to require socio- economic engagement, something beyond its biblical definition. A review of Acts and the Epistles of the New Testament demonstrates that although socio-economic injustices were widespread in first-century Rome, the early church did not establish programs to address social needs as a method for evangelism. Although societal changes may have been brought about by people whose lives were transformed by the gospel, societal change was not the reason that Christians shared the gospel. This paper seeks to elevate the biblical gospel because of its inherent power to change lives, while keeping it separate from human programs and social action, which, although important, are different endeavors.1 Called to Compassion Jesus exemplified compassion. While Christians may differ regarding the integration of social engagement into the gospel, there should be no debate concerning the compassion that Jesus demonstrated toward the poor and needy, nor the expectation that Christians today should act with compassion toward those in need. English New Testaments have translated “compassion” from the Greek root word σπλαγχνον, which is used frequently in the Gospels to describe Christ’s attitude toward various individuals and groups of people.

  • Towards a Dialogical and Diaconal Church
    Chapter Nine Towards a dialogical and diaconal church In the previous chapter we argued that interreligious dialogue couldn’t work without integral development. We summarised and reflected on Samuel Kibicho’s statement that the missions of evangelisation and good neighbourly love were already exercised in African Indigenous Religions. We also saw that the fruits of the Spirit are the criterion of the authenticity of religions, both in Christian- ity and Islam. The Christian theologian, Samuel Kibicho, refers to Matthew 7:16: “By their fruits you shall known them”. His Muslim colleague, Farid Esack, refers to Sura 5:48: “Strive in competition for good deeds” (section 6.1). All these insights provide an empirical, pragmatic foundation for a theory of interreligious relations. In this chapter we elaborate on the relation between dialogue and diaconal work, the African image of the church as the family of God, and pilgrimage as a root metaphor for interreligious relations. 9.1 Interreligious dialogue and social ministry In his Jesus and the witchdoctor Alward Shorter (1985: 133) narrates a conver- sation between a Chinese doctor and an African patient in a Tanzanian hos- pital. The doctor was working in the context of a Chinese programme for medical development cooperation. One day he gave a patient medicine. The patient replied, “Thanks be to God.” The doctor, a communist, replied: “I do not believe in God.” The patient then said: “In that case you may keep your medicine.” As noted in the introduction to chapter two, most Africans do not distinguish between objects and subjects, body and soul.
