FORMAT Hardcover LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description This book assesses the conceptualisation of international mission in the Methodist Church Ghana. It demonstrates that Ghanaian Methodists possess a robust ecclesiology with roots in the Akan concept of "abusua" and an evangelical theology rooted in John Wesley. The author gives interpretations to the ways mission takes place and proposes twelve models of mission whereby members of diasporic communities are agents of mission. As mission is seen a responsibility of the whole church, mission is a common theme related to the migration of Ghanaian Methodists to other contexts, often understood in terms of in the global North. The churchs presence in North America and Europe presents challenges and opportunities that must be negotiated in a broader Methodist mainline milieu. Author Biography Kirk S.
