Partnership in mission is a laudable concept in the furtherance of
God's mission. It has a distinguished history despite the
difficulties experienced in making it a functioning reality. It had
the potential to enable sending and receiving churches to
experience fellowship, humility and dignity in relationships.
However, the issue of power in the 'older' sending churches has
been an intrusive factor in preventing the theory from becoming a
reality. In the case of the Church of Scotland, increasing problems
presented the opportunity for partner relationships to become
authentically interdependent. Unfortunately, vulnerability on the
part of the Church of Scotland World Mission Councilnhas led to a
return to the colonial/dominator approach to partnership.
Opportunities for repentance, self sacrifice and the growth of
fellowship have been spurned to the eventual coist of the church of
Scotland. The analysis should help to understand the current
challenges in world mission, and should be especially helpful to
scholars and students of the history of mission and thoses
interested in understanding the contemporary church situation.
