The concept of Mission is prominent and ever-present in the contemporary church, but there remains considerable confusion surrounding the theology and practice of Christian witness. Painful awareness of the legacy of colonialism leaves many mainline churches uncomfortable with the concept of mission, for fear of €˜imposing' their worldview on others. The course examines contemporary models and movements of mission €“ from €œplanting,€ €œFresh Expressions,€ and "Liquid Church," to €œsocial outreach€ and €œfaith-based community organizing.€ Attention will be give to theologies of mission, missional literature, and to particular local mission projects in their ecclesial contexts. Students will be equipped to formulate their own theology of mission and to become familiar with distinct practical models of mission. These discussions will all be with a view to working to understand and shape the future course of the church.
