| Summary: | It is becoming increasingly clear that we are experiencing a shift in North American culture that requires the church to think of North America as mission field.

These issues are discussed in terms of three aspects: (1) the context in which we live, (2) the gospel we seek to proclaim, and (3) the church which seeks to proclaim this gospel. |
