  • 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.

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.

  • The Worldview of Franklin D. Roosevelt: France, Germany, and United States Involvement in World War Ii in Europe
    ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: THE WORLDVIEW OF FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT: FRANCE, GERMANY, AND UNITED STATES INVOLVEMENT IN WORLD WAR II IN EUROPE Michael S. Bell, Doctor of Philosophy, 2004 Dissertation directed by: Professor Keith W. Olson Dep artment of History President Franklin D. Roosevelt operated from a remarkably consistent view of the world that grew naturally from his experiences. Before he entered the White House, Roosevelt already possessed a coherent worldview that influenced his thinking and informed his decisions as president. The product of his background and education, his experiences, and his exposure to contemporary ideas, Roosevelt’s worldview fully coalesced by the mid 1920s and provided a durable and coherent foundation for Roosevelt’s thinking as president and his strategic direction in response to the deteriorating situation in Europe in the late 1930s and toward the Second World War. Roosevelt’s “worldview” was his broad perspective and sweeping understanding of the impact and interplay of states, parties, groups, and individual people on the progressive advance of world civilization. His background and personal experiences, understanding of historical events, and ideology shaped Roosevelt’s perspective and enabled him to formulate and deliberately pursue long-range strategic goals as part of his foreign policy. The foundation of Roosevelt’s worldview was a progressive, liberal outlook that provided a durable basis for how he interpreted and responded to events at home and abroad. An essential aspect of that outlook was Roosevelt’s deep conviction that he had a personal responsibility to advance civilization and safeguard the cause of liberal reform and democracy. He believed that he was an agent of progress.
