| Summary: | In the last 150 years, "missions" has become a distinctive specialty often separated from the normal work of the normal church. This article examines that break and how it impacts the way in which the concept of “missions” is being communicated among academics and practitioners. This article will first look at two reasons for the separation: the historical break and the cognitive compartmentalization that results. After examining the damage done by this separation, a new holistic model for understanding the church’s mission will be presented along with the benefits that this model can bring to the church. |
