Description: | n today’s world, mutuality in mission is a much needed value, process and theological basis for engagement with those whom we serve. Both the giver and the receiver exist not as unequal partners exercising dominant and subordinate roles in mission, but on relational terms. “The scope of our interconnectedness defines the radius of responsibility and concern.” Further, there are “Ten Undesirables in Christian Mission Engagement” (From Theology of Mutuality: A Paradigm of Mission in the 21st Century, by Glory & Jacob Dharmaraj): Engaging in mission without acknowledging the Lordship of Christ Dichotomizing mission and evangelism into polar opposites by forgetting that mission is contextual, comprehensive, as well as being obedient to the gospel of Jesus Christ Employing humanitarian aid for religious conversion Dividing mission into local and global by promoting one-way mission Combining religious fanaticism with mission engagements Reducing Christian mission to mere social responsibility or human courtesy Not knowing the difference between the body of Christ and the kingdom of God. Not knowing that God’s kingdom is more than the church Not acknowledging that Christ’s commission, not others’ opinion, serves as the foundation of mission Not knowing the difference between transplanting and transporting of the gospel Unwilling to cross-pollinate theological thoughts, refusing to unbundle categorization, and not being able to embrace the blessed unrest |
