God's Church in the World

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.
