Abstract

Announcement The Centenary of “Edinburgh 1910” and the Direction of Christian Mission in the 21st Century Your contribution is invited Mission thinkers and practitioners around the world have detected in the centenary of the Edinburgh 1910 World Missionary Conference an oppor- tunity for the communities of Christian mission to re-gather in order to focus on the missionary challenges of the 21st century. A consortium of Scottish-based church and academic institutions has begun work on coordinating an approach to the centenary which is fully international, widely representative and thoroughly forward-looking. The aim is to discern the shape of Christian mission in the coming century and to stimulate fresh commitment to missionary tasks. In June 2005 a group of international mission thinkers and leaders will meet to make initial plans. It will aim to identify the key themes on which work should be done in preparation for the event(s) to be held in 2010. Study Commissions, each based in a suitable centre of excellence, will be established to examine each theme. You are invited to: • Pray for God’s blessing on this attempt to discern the meaning of Christian mission for our time. • Suggest themes which you think call for attention in this consid- eration of the direction and practice of Christian mission in the 21st century.
