Missional Conversations Reviews

'Cathy Ross and Colin Smith have put together an amazing collection of essays in these pages. Not only does their conversational method match their understanding of mission. Their content is fresh, exciting, imaginative, and in some cases groundbreaking. This is a pioneering book in every sense of the word. It's certainly the best collection of essays in missiology that I have read in a long time.' -- Steve Bevans, SVD
`At its best the story of Church Mission Society since its founding in 1799 has been one of sustained, reflective, practical missiology - `a dialogue between theory and practice' indeed. This collection of essays by many members and friends of the CMS Community stands in exactly that tradition. As such I am delighted to commend it.' -- Canon Philip Mounstephen
'I am a great believer that `God is in the conversations'. This excellent book contains some beautiful stories and asks some deep questions - stories and questions which invite us in to the conversation. It addresses some of the biggest challenges of our time and the authors - both academics and practitioners - have conversations about these questions which will leave you both encouraged and disturbed. There are no easy answers, but God invites us to be part of the conversation - what a great privilege. ' -- Right Revd Martyn Snow
'Missiology is always contextual and in the twenty-first century, that context keeps changing. Missional Conversations brings us up-to-date and names key issues for mission today that were not mainstream even a decade ago, such as migration and economic disparity. It matches these with new ways of engaging in mission that are more and more emerging from Majority World contexts. The global conversation is rich and fertile.' -- Kirsteen Kim
