From its very beginning, the Christian church has been a missionary movement. As the church encountered different cultures and peoples, missionaries adapted their methods and practices to suit the context. Thus a historical understanding of Christian mission is an essential aspect of the missionary work of the church.

Five historical topics are worth particular attention

  • Early Church
  • Celtic Church
  • Monasticism
  • Anglican Approaches to Mission
  • Modern Missionary Movements
