An Introduction to Community of Missionary Disciples: The Continuing Creation of the Church
14.00 (UK Time)
This lecture will be an introduction to the book, Community of Missionary Disciples: The Continuing Creation of the Church. After an introduction about the nature of the book as a missionary ecclesiology, the talk will reflect on: Part I: the missionary nature of the church; Part II: the Mystery of the Church; and Part III: the Structure of the Church. Rather than “tack” mission at the end of ecclesiology, the book focuses on Mission as starting with creation, and essential for the church’s foundation.
