| Summary: | Looking at the Trinity as a model of how God carries out his mission in the world contributes to our own attempts to cooperate with God in mission. The convictions implied in the belief in God the Father provide a motivation for mission that can be strong and humble in a pluralistic world. The incarnation, as God's way of communicating, offers the model for mission across cultural boundaries. The Holy Spirit's persistent, pervasive, unobtrusive, but creative and sensitive working toward the values of God's reign represents the mode of a mission which discerns bridgeheads for the Spirit, exalts the person of Christ, and empowers individuals and communities of faith. |
