Mission as Accompaniment

Evangelism & Missions

“During his time of service as an ELCA missionary in Guyana and South Africa, Brian E. Konkol was formed in and experienced and lived the practice of mission shaped by the concept of accompaniment. In this book, deeply rooted in that missionary experience, Konkol captures the theological contours of accompaniment and offers two contextual realities—the notion of Ubuntu and an Olive Agenda—to deepen and extend how through accompaniment, the humanity of the other is fully acknowledged and received.”
