The Heritage of Mission Today [EPUB ebook] 
Historical and Intercultural Perspectives

This volume of the International Missionary Council Centenary Series brings together the papers of two centres that participated in the global study process to mark the centenary of the International Missionary Council (1921): one from the Western, the other from the Eastern part of Europe. The authors contributing to this volume identify moments of cooperation in mission in the last century but also the need to critically examine the European colonial heritage as well as new incentives in search of orientation for Christian identity in a globalised world. Despite the different contexts and denominational backgrounds of the respective Mission understanding it becomes by this clear that the heritage of mission calls for more ecumenical cooperation today.
