LWF Mission Document
LWF/DMD published in December 2004 a revised mission document titled "Mission in Context: Transformation, Reconciliation, Empowerment - An LWF Contribution to the Understanding and Practice of Mission." This 62-page document was produced by DMD through a process of extensive consultation with the LWF member churches, mission agencies and ecumenical partners. It builds on the 1988 LWF Mission Document, “Together in God’s Mission: An LWF Contribution to the Understanding of Mission,” and aims at stimulating self-analysis and reaffirmation of mission in context among the LWF member churches and other bodies.
