The new mission statement Together towards Life does not so much propose new teachings about mission as point out pertinent reminders and reconfirmations of some of our beliefs and convictions about God's mission (missio Dei) in and for the world. The author suggest that among the many challenges expressed in the statement, three merit special attention: (1) the proposal to shift the mission concept from "mission to the margins" to "mission from the margin"; (2) the necessity to underline the intrinsic link between humanity and creation; and (3) the temptation to consider "mission" as at the service of the interests and aggrandizement of individual churches instead of the contrary. He concludes that this statement is an invitation to walk "together towards life" for the benefit of both humanity and the whole of God's creation, and that the urgent challenge is to forge concrete means to make this dream a reality, even in the face of paying the "cost of discipleship."
