The global pandemic is impacting God’s mission in ways we’ve not experienced before.

There has been disruption to life as we know it—the changes to freedom of movement, urbanization, social upheaval, economic restructuring, education, the way we work and how we gather as church.

What does this mean for us as participants in God’s mission? As always in times of change and crisis, the body of Christ must come together to better understand how God wants us to respond.

If you’re a pastor or Christian leader, or you’re involved in cross-cultural or multi-ethnic mission and ministry, don’t miss the opportunity to hear Dr Sam George, an expert in global migration, diaspora missions and world Christianity, present the annual Leonard Buck lecture, ‘God on the Move: A Theology & Missiology for an Age of Migration’.

About the Centre for Missional Engagement

The Centre for Missional Engagement is a department of Melbourne School of Theology that desires to equip missional practitioners, mindful that the realities of post-Christendom, post-colonial and post-Covid-19 contexts are overlaid with inherited assumptions, theological justifications, organisational systems, processes and language that are dominated in part by the older Christendom paradigm. CME provides a forum to meet, discuss, learn together, engage in thought-leadership, and envision new and renewed directions and language around missional thinking and organizational leadership.
