| Summary: | In this brief article, essential content from mission statements by three different church groupings is compared and contrasted.

This article identifies considerable convergences between the three agendas and sees these as grounds not only for general optimism for the future of mission, but also for meaningful dialogue and appropriate strategies for the work. |
