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.

Stephen B. Bevans, SVD Professor of Mission and Culture, Emeritus, Catholic Theological Union, Chicago
