‘…for theology, rightly understood, has no reason to exist other than critically to accompany the missio Dei. “So mission should be the theme for all theology”’[1]

I'm going to look at the whole idea of mission with (not 'to') young people.  This is more for me, then anything  as I want to work out some thoughts in writing, I just hope others find it useful as well!

I will start of going through Frost and Hirsch's mission paradigm (outlined in The Shaping of Things to Come), where they argue that we must start with Christology (who is Jesus) that then leads onto Missiology (how we do mission) and out of that come ecclesiology (how we do church).

Then from there I want to explore some other thoughts that have sprung up for me out of that paradigm.
