Abstract

This first of my two chapters explores precursors of missional theology of work in the Lausanne Congress and ecumenical church. Beginning with the Lausanne I Congress of World Evangelization in 1974, it traces Lausanne and affiliated forums debating competing articles five and six in the Lausanne Covenant on social responsibility and evangelism respectively. These tensions increased in 1980, when Evangelical and Ecumenical missionary conferences in Pattaya and Melbourne stressed different aspects. Leading missional theologian David Bosch and Lausanneâs âEvangelical Pope,â John Stott especially, despite differences, merged these converging streams and leaders toward a more integral mission and of work. Those prolonged âevangelism versus social responsibilityâ debates of Lausanne Congresses and forums were echoed regarding relative priorities for the Great Commission (Lausanne 1974), Great Commandment (Manila 1989), and Creation Commission (Pattaya 2004). The Marketplace Ministry group I advised at Pattaya, corrected the Great Creation Omission through an economic trinitarian credal framework of Godâs work in the three personsâ corresponding and complementary missional commissions, Creational, Christological, and Spirit-based. This more integral mission theology of work, overcame theological and missional imbalancesâand enabled more progress at Lausanne Congress III in Cape Town. That theme is developed further in Chapter 18 through Newbiginâs bridging of ecumenical and evangelical movements, and Faith and Work (FAW) with Missional Church movements.
