A Missiological Reflection on “Together towards Life: Mission and Evangelism in Changing Landscapes”:

October 2014 Madge Karecki, SSJ-TOSF, is the president of St. Augustine College of South Africa, Johannesburg. —m.karecki@staugustine.ac.za T document proposed to the Tenth General Assembly of theWorld Council of Churches by its Commission on World Mission and Evangelism (CWME), “Together towards Life: Mission and Evangelism in Changing Landscapes” (TTL), echoes much of Catholic missiological teaching, and especially the thought of Pope John Paul II in Redemptoris missio and Pope Francis in Evangelii gaudium (EG). As a missiologist who has long had an interest in mission spirituality, I find TTL to be a multilayered tapestry woven throughout with biblical and missiological insights that reveal the challenges of what it means to participate in God’s mission in the world. It is not a document for the lukewarm and fearful among us!
