Thoughts and reflections posted and/or written by David Wesley who is associate professor of Intercultural studies at Nazarene Theological Seminary

The Church as Missionary

The Church is by nature missionary to the extent that, if it ceases to be missionary, it has not just failed in one of its tasks, it has ceased being Church.
 -- J. Andrew Kirk

"But what is it that the church is supposed to do in order to engage itself in God's mission? Every generation of the Church has to ask itself this question again."

-Paul Orjala

The Church's Ultimate Identity

“ "Christianity has never been more itself, more consistent with Jesus and more evidently en route to its own future, than in the launching of world mission"
