Mission," writes Pope John Paul II in Redemptoris missio, "is a single but complex reality, and it develops in a variety of ways" (RM 41).(1) There is only one mission, the mission of God as such, in which the church shares (e.g., Gal. 2:20; Phil. 1:21; 1 Cor. 10:16-17; Matt. 10:40; John 20:21) and which it continues (Matt. 28:18-20; Mark 16:15-16; Luke 24:44-47; Acts 1:8) by preaching, serving, and witnessing to Jesus' lordship and vision of the reign of God (Acts 28:31). The church does so in four "fields": in its pastoral work, in its commitment to the "new evangelization," in its efforts to transform society and culture, and in its movement to all peoples in the mission ad gentes (RM 34). At every level as well, there are six operative elements: (1) witness and proclamation; (2) liturgy, prayer, and contemplation; (3) justice, peace, and the integrity of creation; (4) dialogue with women and men of other faiths and ideologies; (5) inculturation; and (6) reconciliation. Both the singleness and complexity of mission can be seen in the accompanying diagram.
