The changing geographic and demographic landscape of Christianity has created the imperative in the new century to rethink and reshape mission discourse and practice. Ecclesial communities, academia, and mission practitioners have been challenged to identify the challenges and opportunities brought by what Dana L. Robert calls the “shifting southward of global Christianity.” 1 Global/world Christianity thus, in princi- ple, is the emerging face of southern Christianity that demands a new way of perceiving the world as the context that is shaping the new contours of Christianity. The terms “global” and “world” are used interchangeably to refer both to the ubiquitous presence of Christianity and to the various forms of Christian practices that shape the worldwide presence of pluriform Christianity. The perception of Christianity as a Western religion – and, by implication, of mission as a Western agenda – is being deconstructed by southern Christianity in a way that mirrors the pluriformity of the Christianity of the new century.
