God’s Church in the World: The Gift of Catholic Mission

God’s Church in the World: The Gift of Catholic Mission presents a confident and joyful assertion of the Catholic character of Christian mission and its sacramental nature, exploring the transforming role the Catholic tradition can play in evangelism. A range of outstanding contributors explore the gifts that the Catholic tradition – formed by a conviction that the presence of Christ in the Eucharist intensifies and motivates an awareness of the sacramental presence of Christ in the world – can bring to the church’s engagement with the world.

Chapters include:

  • Mission and the Life of Prayer
  • Mission and the Sacraments
  • Catholic Mission in Practice
  • The Virgin Mary and Mission
  • Vocation and Mission
  • The Sacraments as Converting Ordinances
  • Social Justice and Growth in Anglo-Catholic Churches
  • Reflections on Scripture and Catholic Mission
  • Catholic Mission: Historical Perspectives

The contributors represent the breadth of Catholic traditions and identities in the Church of England today.
