Desde 2006, tras la Asamblea del CMI celebrada en Porto Alegre, la Comisión de Misión Mundial y Evangelización ha estado trabajando y colaborando en la elaboración de una nueva afirmación ecuménica sobre la misión. La nueva declaración se presentará en la 10ª Asamblea del CMI que se celebrará en Busan (Corea), en 2013. Desde la integración del Consejo Misionero Internacional (CMI) y del Consejo Mundial de Iglesias (CMI) en 1961, en Nueva Delhi, el Comité Central del CMI solo ha aprobado una declaración oficial de posición sobre misión y evangelización, en 1982: “Misión y evangelización: una afirmación ecuménica”. Esta nueva afirmación sobre la misión fue aprobada por unanimidad el 5 de septiembre de 2012 por el Comité Central del CMI, que se reunió en Creta (Grecia). El objetivo de este proceso de discernimiento ecuménico es buscar perspectivas, conceptos y orientaciones en aras de la renovación del entendimiento y la práctica de la misión y la evangelización en contextos en evolución. Se pretende lograr un amplio apoyo, más allá del círculo de las iglesias miembros del CMI y las organizaciones misioneras afiliadas, a fin de que podamos comprometernos juntos en favor de la plenitud de vida para todos, bajo la orientación del Dios de Vida.

The AGAPE Call to Action is the result of a six-year process of consultations and regional studies.
