INTERNATIONAL NETWORK ON MISSION IN WESTERN CULTURE (INMWC)
Vision

Allelon’s vision is to cultivate a multi-generational movement of missional leaders to engage questions of mission in Western culture into the future.

The International Network on Mission in Western Culture project is part of an extensive range of initiatives of Allelon as part of this overarching vision.

The Project is shaped against the background of the inspiration and influence of Lesslie Newbigin. While Newbigin’s legacy has been significant the last decade suggests that much of the work he initiated around the question of mission in western culture has not yet translate into a sustained movement of mission-shaped local churches.

In the summer of 2006, some 25 international practitioners, missiologists and researchers gathered in McCall, Idaho to explore the possibility of forming an INMWC. People sensed a deep continuity with the missional conversations initiated by the various Newbigin movements that have shaped the past twenty-five years. At the same time, they felt a call to a new chapter in which the local church was a primary partner.

 
The Project

Allelon is sponsoring the INMWC as a multi-year project (September 2006 – December 2012) to address the question of mission in Western culture from the perspective of the local church and its context, and the implications for leadership development.

The goal of the project is to develop frameworks, practices and resources that address the question of a missional engagement in contemporary, western culture through a mutually critical partnership with local churches in selected countries. These countries are: Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, the United Kingdom and the United States.

As the project seeks to engage particular local churches, the focus will be on the actual, lived narratives shaping the people of these churches and their contexts in late modernity, in dialogue with Scripture and in engagement with the missional challenges of their contexts.
