Mission As The Mother of The Church

January 3, 2008 | Filed Under church, missional |

Mission is not only the “mother of theology,” as Martin Kahler said at the turn of the twentieth century and as David Bosch has more recently reminded us. Mission might also be called the “mother of the church,” the great task believers have been given that binds them together, provides them with nourishment, focuses their energies, heals their sinfulness and provides them with challenge and vision.
