Publisher's Description
This book examines aspects of theology and practice of six British mission agencies, aiming to understand their capability to respond to the crisis of a disconnect between mission practitioners and mission scholars, and suggesting that agencies need to consider leadership and governance aspects in order to respond effectively to the challenges they face.

“This volume will prove indispensable for anyone concerned with the future effectiveness of the British mission agency as a vehicle for the UK church’s involvement in world mission. In providing a penetrating analysis of six British mission agencies, Eddie Arthur paves the way for readers to reflect more broadly about the nature of mission and the future of the western mission movement in a time when the global landscape of church and mission has seen huge demographic change. Not everyone will agree with Arthur’s analysis and recommendations, but mission agencies need a voice like his – asking crucial questions that if engaged with, will help us recognise the urgency for change and to discern our role in an emerging new paradigm for mission in the context of World Christianity”
“Through careful reflection on recent missiological thinking and critical analysis of interviews with several mission agency leaders, Eddie Arthur has made an important contribution to our understanding of the extent to which mission agencies have responded to recent thinking in mission studies, and how they might yet respond in future. This book will, I hope, become a key resource resource for everyone who shares a commitment to mission practice rooted in robust theological and missiological research.”
