Full Description
Nearly 30 years after South African missiologist David Bosch explored what he called elements of an emerging ecumenical missionary paradigm Lived Mission in 21st Century Britain propose that there is still work to be done ecumenically for missiology to inhabit rightfully its role as critical friend, crosser of boundaries, advocate for justice and intellectual ankle biter.
Bringing together a unique array of contributors, the book considers what mission as practice looks like both through the eyes of those who are well established as theologians and reflective practitioners and those who are working on the ground and have written little on their daily lived experience.
Chapter authors include Jan Nowotnik, Graham Adams, Shemil Mathew, Timothy Boniface Carroll, Bisi Adenekan, Elizabeth Joy, Heather Major, Tom Hackett, James Woodward, Raj Bhara Patta, Paul Weller, Niall Cooper, Lisa Adjei, Shermara Fletcher and Anupama Ranawana
