The papers of the Micah Network International Consultation on Integral Mission and the Poor, Oxford 2001. The meaning of integral mission and its implications for the poor, the church, advocacy and lifestyle is discussed by some of the key figures in the movement such as Rene Padilla, Archbishop Donald Mtetemala and C.B. Samuel.
Justice, Mercy and Humility explores the challenge of integral mission among the poor today. It locates the Christian response within a world of alternatives - alternatives at the macro-level of policies and advocacy, and the micro-level of lifestyle, and affirms the need to integrate ourselves within a 'total missional response to the poor'.
Globilization is both an economic and cultural phenomenon. Whilst it brings many benefits - creating wealth and opening up societies - it is also creating gross inequalities. The unrestricted movement of capital can leave whole communities devastated as production moves elsewhere at short notice on search of lower costs. This book aims to integrate Christian belief with evangelism and social action, and will be of interest to aid workers, missionaries, pastors, teachers and all those wishing to bring justice, mercy and humility to today's needy world.
