Synopsis

Changing Frontiers of Mission reflects on the history of mission and seeks to discem its path for the future. Ever since Jesus's time, mission must precede the church. The renewal of the church is linked to recovering this priority of mission. Unlike in the past, where the "frontier" was a geographical location, the future "frontier" is symbolized by outward movement, away from the status quo and toward new challenges, growth and opportunities.
