This thesis explores the Church of England report Mission-Shaped Church (MSC) and its subsequent secondary and synodical legislation. It traces the missiology, ecclesiology and sociology of the initial report and their subsequently developed over the last seven years. The thesis ascertains how well this missiology and ecclesiology reflects or adapts traditional and contemporary Anglican missiology and ecclesiology represented in official reports of the Church of England over the last two hundred years as well as in its missionary work in England. Chapter one will survey the report itself and all subsequent secondary literature and legislation, identifying their sources and tracing the contours of their theology and sociology. Chapter two places these findings into historic relief, ascertaining that they are novel in the life of the Church of England; that MSC deduces its own sources; and is alien in its methodology and recommendations compared to the existing theological corpus of the church. Chapter three examines the work of William Temple as a counter ecclesiology and missiology to MSC. The 'Temple method' of bringing any, and all, social issues into dialogue with the existing Anglican tradition, and his emphasis on the sacramental and catholic life of the church, are representative of historic Anglican approaches to missiology and ecclesiology. Chapter four will use the sociology of Zygmunt Bauman as an experimental basis to help the Church of England understand its contemporary context. His work illustrates that the ideology of consumerism is the major missiological challenge the church faces today, one that MSC failed to critically engage with, and actually succumbed to, in its missiological method, which results in a deficient and under-resources ecclesiology. The conclusion will correct these failings and shortcomings by bringing the ecclesiology presented in the third chapter into critical dialogue with the sociology of chapter four. We will argue that a comprehensive ecclesiology and missiology, that has a sacramental and catholic focus – represented by Temple, and other numerous official reports – when brought to bear on the social reality of Bauman's 'liquid modernity', yields a much richer understanding of the impetus of the gospel in contemporary England. Such a theology combats the anthropology of consumption through its emphasis on sacramental participation, and critiques the exclusion of the stranger and the strange by emphasising a catholic vision of inclusion and mutuality.

Seltz, Gregory P., "LCMS Identity and Mission in the American Urban Context: Engaging Conian Black Theology through Strategic Lutheran Missiology." Ph.D. diss., Concordia Seminary, 2017. 304 pp. This dissertation addresses the challenges of the American urban context by dialoging with James Cone's Black Theology in order to construct an LCMS urban missiology. This LCMS urban missiology is a dynamic, Two-Kingdom, sacramental engagement strategy that addresses the issues endemic to the urban community for the sake of the community and for the sake of the Gospel. The American urban setting is fraught with challenges: identity politics, ethnic-sociological fragmentation, and the delegitimation-politicization of virtually all aspects of urban, public life. For faithful missiological engagement in the urban context, the LCMS needs to take such challenges seriously, by engaging in a racial critique of its missional practices and by relying upon its Two-Kingdom theology to form a unique missiological response. Through Bevan's synthetic model of contextual theology, this dissertation dialogues with Conian Black Theology to offer a racial, missional critique of the LCMS and to construct an LCMS urban missiology that differs from the public missiological engagements of Evangelical Theology and Black Theology. This urban missiology analyzes and then builds upon the historical-social location of the LCMS in urban ministry, offers a Two-Kingdom response to Cone's challenges, and presents a sacramental concrete understanding of missional practice that is not ultimately captive to specific political ideologies or policies. This LCMS urban missiological engagement is then used in a case study of the church's missiological engagement in the racially charged events of Ferguson, Missouri.

O campo dos estudos em torno da mobilidade humana se alarga cada vez mais, e se redimensiona na mesma medida em que novas realidades surgem no horizonte de experiências que ela proporciona. Como exemplo disso, temos o aparecimento deste livro entre os estudos sociorreligiosos e teológicos, que busca introduzir uma nova disciplina no ramo da missiologia, ou da teoria e prática da missão cristã: a missiologia da diáspora. Seu autor e organizador, Enoch Wan, é remanescente ele próprio da nova realidade social, religiosa e acadêmica, engendrada pela diáspora contemporânea. Oriundo da grande diáspora chinesa, sua família aderiu ao protestantismo ainda em sua região de origem, na China. Com ela migrou aos Estados Unidos, onde se tornou professor de estudos interculturais e liderança da Evangelical Missiological Society. Em sua atuação religiosa e acadêmica foi articulando grupos de estudos missiológicos entre América do Norte e Ásia. Foi no âmbito desses grupos, com membros de diferentes confissões protestantes e o mesmo perfil social e religioso, na primeira década deste século, que teve uma participação ativa na gestação de uma nova forma de pensar a missiologia cristã, a Diapora Missiology. O itinerário desta proposta de reflexão, sua articulação e principais eventos, pode ser acompanhado numa busca pela internet (cf. <http://www.globaldiaspora. org/>). Como um dos resultados desse processo, este livro organizado por Enoch Wan reúne autores de diferentes origens nacionais e étnicas, e que se integram nesse processo de reflexão. Eles expressam a preocupação comum de como evangelizar em meio a povos desenraizados em diáspora, compartilhando práticas missionárias que se desenvolvem nesse sentido.
