A New Posture for Global Engagement Recently I received a copy of Going Global in the mail from Chalice Press as I've been collecting and reading books on the whole global urban conversation. Obviously that is a comprehensive and wide conversation that includes so many facets and features from the topics of globalization, mission, immigration, urban planning, transportation, economics, church planting, gentrification, and so forth. I was not too sure what to expect when I picked the book up a few days ago other than the authors were Canadi. A start, but not far enough Jon Barnes I think this book can be a good resource for congregations, although how helpful it is depends on their starting point for understanding mission.I'll start by mentioning some aspects I think are good. The book does deal with important issues such as the changed (and still changing) context of the world in which mission is done. It speaks about issues of globalization, poverty, power, and neocolonialism. It also address the issue of "agency" and that as folks from North America, we need to focus on missio. What needs to be said. Patrick Hurley All of us tend to get culturally stuck. We try to apply our culture and ideas to others. It really does not work.

The ways to be effective in global missions have changed. This book discusses common principles and practices that inform and energize local churches as they enter the global ministry arena. It is not enough to "do something." It is in fact possible to do all of the right things in all of the wrong ways, with negative results. It is also possible that mission "over there" can have as much -- or more -- on the church at home. The authors believe that content and values must undergird the North American local church's approach to global mission. This book will assist church leadership as they look for resources to help them balance the agenda of short-term versus long-term mission, fund-raising, and the tension between evangelism and compassionate social ministry.
