The Second Vatican Council endorsed an engagement with the modern
and secularized world through a renewed proclamation of the Gospel.
John Paul II described this as the New Evangelization, and in 2010,
Benedict XVI confirmed this priority by creating the Pontifical
Council for Promoting the New Evangelization to 're-propose the
perennial truth of the Gospel.' The New Evangelization was the
subject of the Synod of Bishops in 2012 and in 2014 Pope Francis
gave his reflections on the topic in Evangelii Gaudium. The New
Evangelization draws on material presented and discussed at the
conference 'Vatican II, 50 Years On: The New Evangelization'
organised by Leeds Trinity University on 26-29th June 2012. Part I
traces the historical and theological links between the Council and
the New Evangelization. Part II examines the renewed understanding
of the Church as a result of the Council and the extent to which it
is shaped by civilization. Part III analyzes the nature of the New
Evangelization and its outworking in today's multifarious context
of cultures, religions and societies. Part IV deals with the
implementation of the New Evangelization by different communities
and organizations and the issues this raises. In the Introduction
and Conclusion, the editors reflect on the New Evangelization in
the light of significant developments since 2012.
Los Angeles is a global crossroads of migrating communities that
presents a case study of migration, transnationalism, and
interfaith engagement with significant implications for thinking
and practice in other global hubs. This book weaves together
contributions from a group of internationally-recognized scholars
who were brought together for the 2020 Missiology Lectures at
Fuller Theological Seminary, which received funding from the Luce
Foundation. They examine historical waves of migration - European
Protestant, Asian, Latino/a, and Muslim - into Southern California
and use sociological, missiological, and theological methods to
understand the experience of migration and its effects, both on
those who move and those who are already there. The result shows
how migrants are inspired and sustained by faith and spiritual
resources; how migration challenges faith communities about their
identity and attitudes to others; how faith communities in turn
impact the migration landscape through immigrant integration and
public advocacy, and how migration forges new transnational and
global ways of being in community and innovative religious
movements. The contributors put forward a mission theology of
migration and suggest mission practices in response to the
suffering caused by forced migration and the injustices of
immigration systems.

Joining in with the Spirit makes the connection between mission as
the work of mission agencies overseas and mission as the activity
of a local church. It shows how, through the global flows of
scholarship, missionary movements and migration, mission
initiatives in different parts of the world impinge on the churches
in Britain, which are but part of a world church. Joining in with
the Spirit is an accessible introduction to mission studies - the
history, theology and issues of mission, which is up-to-date and
supported by contemporary scholarship. It also offers a theological
framework for mission, which applies both globally and locally, to
help the reader discern the movement of the Spirit of Christ among
the many other spirits of this world. This text illustrates the
impact of the 1910 Edinburgh world missionary conference and shows
how the churches in Britain as a part of a much wider movement of
the Spirit of Christ that is world Christianity.
