Theme: Contemporary Insights and Imperatives for 'Missio ad gentes,' 'Missio cum gentes' and 'Missio inter gentes'.
Description:
Christian Mission today is inserted within a highly mobile, highly diversified and multi-religious world context. Contemporary missiology addresses this world context. The sense of conversion and reflection on conversion are predictably complex as well as interesting.
The call for papers covers a wide range of areas, for example:
the intersection of conversion and commission, within Abrahamic religions, and between Christianity and other religions
mission of “presence”/ “witness” and the sense/meaning of conversion (even danger of conversion) in places where it is extremely difficult or impossible to mission, to change affiliation
multi-religious belonging and the meaning of conversion—change of conviction that perhaps may not imply change of affiliation, and vice versa
Historical and contemporary theologies of Conversion: their implications for missionary activity today
