This paper argues that missio Dei theology must continue to provide the basis for an ecumenical missiology, provided certain problems are revisited, in lene with themes of the 2010 Edinburgh study process. Among them is the need for emphasizing the vertical dimension of a trnsformative spirituality, somehow neglected in earlier ecumenical theologies. Only this will prevent an over-estimation of humanity's capacities. Within a missio Dei theology the specific role of the church is to be reaffirmed: There is no way back behind integration, which remains a cornestone of an ecumenical approach, provided it keeps a critical distance to dogmatic ecclesiologies hat tend to hinder progress towards visible unity. The debate on gospel and culture has to be urgently taken up again, through a positive appreciation a syncretism and the related search for criteria in intercultural hermeneutics. This will lead to articulating pneumatological approaches to mission with Christologies. Indeed, the New Testament texts with the most universal horizon refer to Christ as Word or Wisdom and not to the Holy Spirit. The paper moves on to ask whether then the relevance of thebiblical wisdom tradition should not feature more in missiology. It could provide fertile approaches to witness in a religiously plural and ecologically damaged world. Ecumenical mission should in future be shaped by wisdom as much as it has been by prophecy, and keep both traditions in creative tension.
