The Five Marks of Mission

Mission: a term universally acknowledged but hotly debated in the Body of Christ, his church. What does it mean in the 21st century of diversity and pluralism? Using the Anglican "five marks of mission" as his framework, Chris Wright sets out the whole concern of God for the redemption and healing of the whole person. God's mission is seen to go far beyond the traditional concept of evangelism and church planting. It includes engagement in society in acts of compassion and struggles for justice, and a commitment to the care and renewal of God's creation.
