Five Marks of Mission

2010 October 7

What is the mission of the church? Put differently: When we are doing what the church is supposed to do, what is it we are doing? One answer is these five marks of mission:

  • To proclaim the Good News of the Kingdom
  • To teach, baptise and nurture new believers
  • To respond to human need by loving service
  • To seek to transform unjust structures of society
  • To strive to safeguard the integrity of creation and sustain and renew the life of the earth

I didn’t devise the list. It has made it’s way around the Anglican Communion for nearly a quarter century. I think it brings up some helpful ideas.

I also know that the mission of the church differs in different contexts. So that the main mission of  church in a disaster area is to help in meeting the immediate physcial needs of people affected. That’s the third mark on the list and it is primary for a church in such a catastrophe. Obviously, that is not part of the mission here locally in the Diocese of Georgia this week. Yet, I don’t think the list was intended to be a cafeteria plan of selecting which one to take up for action, but rather a way of naming the sorts of categories in which our mission takes place and to beg the question as to whether we are attending to all of them in a way appropriate to our context.
