Publisher's Description
Mission as Ministry of Reconciliation offers a valuable elucidation of the importance mission as ministry of reconciliation. It expounds on the practical implications of this understanding in a variety of settings. It brings together perspectives from different church traditions, including the Lausanne Movement and the Catholic Church, and also speaks about the socio-ethical implications of mission. In short, this rich book affirms that there is hope--even if it is "hope in a fragile world," as the concluding chapter puts it. At the very heart of the gospel of Jesus Christ is a message of hope and reconciliation. Nothing could be more relevant or necessary in a broken world, and this book centers such a message at the heart of mission.

“True reconciliation is a question of justice: justice in dealing with the past, justice in our processes of government and law, justice in our economic development. I believe that our reconciliation depends on the things I often have spoken about: empowering our youth, creating jobs and opportunity, and spreading development to all our people, so that progress belongs to everyone.”
“Reconciliation is very relevant in our Christian faith because the core of our Christian faith is about reconciliation, between God and us as human beings. We are reconciled through Jesus Christ. That is why we can be reconciled to each other, as sinners. We know that it is also a commandment in our Christian faith that we shall be reconciled with our neighbours, even with our enemies. And we shall forgive each other. So the core values in our Christian faith are relevant for reconciliation processes in society and in a religious framework.”
