520 |a At the intersection of international development and Christian mission, are we in an era of the “anonymous missionary”? Karl Rahner proposed the “anonymous Christian” for understanding the religious other. Analogously, can a secular development professional, employed by a Christian mission agency, be considered an “anonymous missionary”?

In this article, I will constructively critique this growing trend, highlight its missiological incoherencies, identify the missiological challenges it poses, and underscore the indispensable role of missionary faith and spirituality.
