Continuing resources

Latin America missiologists have moved beyond the deconstruction of oppressive imperialistic models to the constriction of creative contextual missiologies. Important building blocks are liberation, context, dialogue, integral mission, and a kingdom perspective. This article presents the contributions of five missiologists in this process. Rene Padilla and Samuel Escobar articulate holistic mission. Leonardo Boff develops a liberation model of Planetary care based on the Trinity. Roberto Zwetsch brings new nuances to compassion in an intercultural paradigm. David Oliveira focuses on transformative diaconia. It invites all to learn from Latin American missiologies, which can facilitate interdependence and partnerships in the global Church.
