Trends in missional ecclesiology

What is it about?

This article explained the term ‘missional church’ and explored missional theology. The point of departure is to place the discussion within ideas on God as Trinity. This means mission is understood as ‘joining in with the Spirit’. It also explained the relationship between ecclesiology and missiology. Current developments in theology on missional ecclesiology were tracked by focusing on an incarnational approach to the church; relationality in the community of believers; the role of the kingdom of God; discernment as the first act in mission; imago Dei and creativity; the ecclesia and local community and finally mission and ethics.
