Abstract

My Chapter 6 focused on the Lausanne Movement’s ongoing debate about relative priorities of evangelism and social concern from 1974–2004. By Pattaya 2004 that dialogue had been replicated regarding work’s role as a means to evangelism or of worth as worship in itself. It then became a trialogue about the related triune God of mission and the commissions flowing from the work of each divine person commissioning human work. Chapter 18 traces developments of lay workplace movements and how they became displaced from their original role supporting God’s scattered people at work to being mainly church ministry supporters. We then follow Paul Williams’ challenging question concerning the need for the relatively independent Missional Church and Faith at Work (FAW) movements to together re-engage the world after Christendom. As Lesslie Newbigin was a forefather of the missional church movement re-engaging secular society and his (and Kuyper’s) creational-sphere based theology of work has inspired many key workplace ministries we see him having a key bridging role. Newbigin also helped the Lausanne Workplace Network from the 2000s to 2010 culminating in Lausanne III’s Cape Town Commitment. Newbigin continues to help bridge the gaps between Missional Church and Workplace Networks as well as ecumenical and evangelical approaches.
