| Summary: | The Christian vocation of mission cannot be understood apart from the Christian hope for salvation. Salvation is a relation of communion (or koinonia) with God and other creatures in Christ. This definition points to the trinitarian basis for mission in a pluralistic context. Koinonia is a key both to Christian openness to other faiths and to its witness amongst them. This essay summarizes three dimensions of God's relation with the world in terms of three human images and then develops the implications of this perspective for our understanding of mission. |
