This article provides a brief history of mission theology of the gloal church since Edinburgh 1910, highlighting the seismological shift and major developments in missiological thinking and praxis over the years and through various world mission conferences, specifically from the prespective of the Commission on World Mission and Evangelism (CWME). It argues that, as we prepare ourselves to celebrate the centenary mission conference in Edinburgh in June 2010, mission theology has moved from its early stage of colonial, Eurocentric expression to post-colonial and polyphonic articulations of missiology. For the CWME, though the missiology journey continues even beyond 2010. This article argues that, amongst many important missiologycal themes that CWME needs to adress within the overarching theme of "Ecumenism in mission", the themes CWME has identified as its major focus for the coming years-viz. ecclesiology and mission, mission as healing, and mission as contestation-are of crucial pertinence. In the changing global Christian landscape where the centre of gravity of Chritianity has moved to the global south, and in a context where new forms of being ecclesial communities are tried out, " The Nature and Mission of the Church" needs to take a "from below" approach, going beyond the traditional frameworks of mainline churches. Mission as healing would provide a comprehensive and more integral perspective to the salvific purpose of God for this world, especialy as "healing" is a common strand within many religious, ecclesial and spiritual traditions, offering a dialogue perpective. Mission as contestation is equally significant in today's world where the gospel imperative of confronting satanic that express themselves in the form of gobalization, neo-imperialism, patriarchy, racism, casteism and eco-violence is of cardinal importance.
