Description
Summary:This book contains a large collection of papers which report on missional activities in Central and Eastern Europe, especially on initiatives based in local churches and oriented towards society. It looks across denominational lines, from Eastern Orthodox to Roman Catholic, Protestant and various neo-Protestant churches. This is a very stimulating volume which discusses a much-neglected area in Europe from the perspective of missionary practice, presenting old and new forms of mission, as well as ways forward. It is one of the few publications that addresses aspects of mission in this part of Europe, and presents valuable reading for mission agencies, seminaries and churches. The book contains contributions by more than thirty authors and has sections on reasons for mission; the Orthodox and mission; the Catholics and mission; ecumenical mission; mission in Romania; immigrants, churches, dialogue; theological education as mission; and dialogue, public sphere and mission.
