Missions
The missions Committee of Western Anglicans is a
standing committee of the Association that:
- Upholds the primacy of Christian Mission, defined
as planting and watering the seed of the Gospel in
other cultures with intention that practices not
essential to the Gospel and to Christian living remain
indigenous, so that the Gospel is without cultural
barriers to acceptance;
-
Encourages the Association's congregations to
share ideas and resources for short term missions
(both domestic and foreign);
-
Encourages the support of long term missionaries
by the Association's congregations and, when
agreeable, the sharing of such support among two or
more congregations;
-
Assists the Evangelism Committee in
cross-cultural evangelism so that Western Anglican's
congregations become attractive to people of all races
and cultural backgrounds; and
-
Encourages and helps to facilitate the planting
of new churches by the Association's congregations,
drawing on resources such as the Anglican Communion
Network.
The Scriptural model for the Missions Committee is Gen
12:11-3, Go forth from your country . . . in you all
the families of the earth shall be blessed, and the
Great Commission, Go therefore and make disciples of
all nations.
