People Disrupted: Doing Mission Responsibly among Refugees and Migrants
Ebook
Migration has been a major source of change and a central feature in human development, but the sheer magnitude and relentlessness of migrant movements in recent decades defy easy analysis. The Korean Global Mission Leadership Forum desires accountability in Christian world mission. This volume is the outcome of the multinational case studies and responses presented at KGMLF’s 2017 consultation held in Sokcho, Korea, on the subject “Migration, Human Dislocation, and Accountability in Missions.” The studies presented deal with significant issues in Christian mission and address the case of North Korean migrants, the sufferings of Iraqis fleeing from war, African refugees, Syrian refugees in Lebanon, overseas Filipino workers, the situation of refugees in Europe, and other refugee cases.
We know about Korean Christianity’s strong commitment to contemporary mission and evangelism but this book in a fascinating way links it to the pressing issue of unprecedented migration and human dislocation. The case studies make it rich and insightful, calling the reader and the universal church to account in new and dramatic ways. The international panel of presenters and responders truly represents mission from everywhere to everywhere—an essential dialogue for missiology in the twenty-first century. Thomas Kemper, General Secretary Global Ministries, The United Methodist Church, Atlanta, Georgia USA.
In an era of global migration and world-circling movements o fpeople, recasting theology in the light of migration is imperative. This rich collection of in-depth missiological and theological reflections offers indispensable insight. It is packed with a wealth of knowledge, gained through first-hand experience, on one of the most difficult and yet prevalent issues of our time. Lalsangkima Pachuau, Dean of Advanced Research Programs ,J. W. Beeson, Professor of Christian Mission, Asbury Theological Seminary, Wilmore, Kentucky USA
People Disrupted: Doing Mission Responsibly among Refugees and Migrants demonstrates two important trends in mission:migration as a major subject for mission accountability, and the maturing of the Korean church in convening global mission thinkers and practitioners in one space.
