... is the name of a report published by the Anglican Church in England and was the subject of my master's thesis. The first good news is that I never finished my master's thesis runs for 24 hours and slowly but surely feel the relief. The second good news behinhaltet this book. I found the way Mission-shaped Church mission founded and inspired designs. If it is the prejudice gegenüber der Theologie hatte (was natürlich schade wäre), dass sie irrelvant und weltfremd sei, dann sind die missionstheologischen Überlegungen von Mission-shaped Church ein Gegenbeispiel. Beim Lesen wird man sicherlich in seinem herkömmlichen Denken herausgefordert, ich wurde es auf jeden Fall. Eine Kostprobe? Hier eine coole grundlegende Aussage: " It is not the Church of God that has a mission in the world, but the God of mission who has a Church in the world. " (MSC 85) Und noch eine typisches Zitat bezüglich der Herangehensweise des Berichts: " Start with the Church and the mission will probably get lost. Start with mission and it is likely that the Church will be found. " (MSC 116). So, a master work that has given me much joy. I recommend MSC to read!
PS: Since 2007, there is also a German translation of the report: Autumn, Michael brings mission community in the form. Gemeindeplfanzungen and new expressions of community life in a changing context.
