Abstract

The purpose of this work is to explore the relationship among three forces: 1. the church as the body of Christ, 2. the mission as God's redemptive work in the world, and 3. the context as the cultural setting from which each of us comes. The purpose further is to explore the creative and dynamic tension between these three in global ministry, urban ministry, the life of the judicatory, and the life of the congregation. One result of the study is the realization that mission itself is an agent of renewal for the church. When mission occurs, the church is converted as powerfully as the convert. The conclusion identifies leadership not as authoritarian or as managerial, but as a new style of leadership for a new time. The new style is modeled after the apostles Peter and Paul, symbolized by their meeting at the Jerusalem Council described in the book of Acts, chapter 15.
