WCC Publishes Missional Collaborations 2021: A Report from North America
The Center for Global Christianity and Mission at the Boston University School of Theology guided a year-long study on missional collaboration in North America to mark the Centenary of the International Missionary Council. The North American study was one of sixteen regional studies, most of which have been compiled together in one published volume for the 2022 General Assembly of the World Council of Churches. It is with great pleasure that the CGCM announces the publication, A Hundred Years of Mission Cooperation, The Impact of the International Missionary Council: 1921-2021, edited by Risto Jukko, the head of the Commission on World Mission and Evangelism of the WCC. The North American report can be found in Chapter 17 of the volume and is also accessible on the CGCM Mission Study Process webpage: https://www.bu.edu/cgcm/imc/
