The latest issue of International Bulletin of Missionary Research carries the feature articles noted below.
Jonathan J. Bonk’s editorial – ‘Mission in Bold Humility’ – sets something of a tone:
‘With support from texts such as Isaiah 14:12–20, theologians have generally agreed that the mother of all sins – Lucifer’s folly – is pride. We human beings have proven sadly receptive to the Great Deceiver’s DNA. Pride of race, nation, clan, religion, profession, and accomplishment flourish in the fertile soil of individual and collective egocentrism.
‘Whatever the thrust of Christian missionary labors – whether incarnation among Muslims or disembodied voices over the airwaves – genuine humility is not only appropriate but essential (Mark 10:41–45). Mission, in line with the wise counsel of the late David Bosch, is a life of adventure that requires bold humility.’
