Mission calls the church into being to serve God’s purpose in the world.
The church does not have a mission, but the mission has a church.
(Stephen B. Bevans and Roger P. Schroeder)
Our director of mission, Elvira Ramirez writes: “It is no big surprise that lay missioners will readily agree that we are most church when we are about building up the reign of God. But have we also reflected upon mission as the amazing invitation that at the same time draws us in as disciples of Jesus, led by the Spirit, and makes us co-creators in the reign of God?
“The mission has a church,” and we are this church. Albeit only part of it but the mission “has us”!
I invite you to consider what the signs of this church are in the world.
