Called to God's Mission

The international dialogue between the World Communion of Reformed Churches and classical Pentecostals began in 1996. At the end of the first round of talks a common document was released in 2001: "Word and Spirit: Church and World." The second round produced a report entitled "Experience in Christian Faith and Life" in 2011. Both of these reports briefly mention the importance of God's mission in the world (missio Dei).

This report takes the focus on mission further. It highlights the context in which mission is relevant to both ecclesial traditions. Since both traditions embrace a diversity of missiologies, the report works to formulate a vision of the mission of God (missio Dei) that Pentecostal and Reformed Christians can live out together.

It demonstrates that Reformed and Pentecostal churches have an obligation to avail themselves to engage in God's mission for common witness and service, for justice and peace wherever the opportunity arises.
