Migration and Mission: Pastoral Challenges, Theological Insights

Abstract

I talian scholar Gaetano Parolin Notes that only in recent years have Christians begun to think about the phenomenon of migration in the context of the church’s evangelizing mission. 1 Pope John Paul II’s 1990 encyclical Redemptoris Missio , for example, includes the care and evangelization of migrants among the “new worlds and new social phenomena” that make up mission ad gentes , 2 and the 2004 Instruction Erga Migrantes Caritas Christi specifically links the phenomenon of migrations to mission. 3 Among Protestants and Evangelicals, there have appeared, for example, works by Jan Jongeneel, Samuel Escobar, and Enoch Wan 4 as essays in a special issue of Missiology: An International Review , and Gerrit Noort. 5 These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
