About
There can be no doubt the positive influence the Lausanne Movement has had on current approaches to evangelical global missions since its inception in 1974. But as with all things made and organized by humankind, it should not be above critique.
Dr. Sarah Nicholl asserts spirituality, now often seen as an individual rather than communal endeavour, has been disconnected from the missional practices in the movement. In bringing together missiology, mission practice and spirituality, she joins a chorus of scholars calling for more integration between areas of theory and practice. This book defines this synergy as "integrated mission," and to illustrate what this mission can look like draws upon the writings and lives of four mission-oriented Christians: John Wesley, St. Ignatius of Loyola, Orlando Costas and Fr. Segundo Galilea. This book reasons all believers practising this way of mission will be animated, rooted and participatory with the triune God in the mission Dei to the world.
