International Review of Mission (IRM), the journal of the World Council of Churches (WCC) which celebrated its centenary this past year, focuses on one of the most recent ecumenical affirmations of Christian mission in its November 2012 edition. The title of the issue is “New Milestone in Mission.”
IRM explores and provides analysis of a re-affirmation of mission and evangelism which is to be presented at the 10th Assembly of the WCC when it meets in late October and early November 2013 at Busan, Korea. A product of the WCC commission on world mission and evangelism, the statement was unanimously adopted by the WCC Central Committee in September 2012.
The document, “Together towards life: Mission and evangelism in changing landscapes”, emphasizes such aspects of contemporary outreach as “mission from the margins”, “transformative spirituality” and “speaking the truth in love”. Amid the shifting contexts of changing cultures, the church is shown to be “on the move”.
Among the authors of articles in IRM are WCC general secretary Olav Fykse Tveit, commission moderator Geevarghese Mor Coorilos, Kirsteen Kim, Tabita Kartika Christiani, Opoku Onyinah, Rosalie Velloso Ewell, Vladimir Fedorov and Beverly Eileen Mitchell. The International Review of Mission is edited by Jooseop Keum and co-published by WCC Publications and Wiley-Blackwell.
