The remarkable story of Christianity's growth as a world religion has implications not only for mission work in the far corners of the globe but also for ministry in each local congregation.

In what ways is the gospel—to use Andrew Walls' terms—a "prisoner" as well as "liberator" of culture? What does faithful Christian ministry look like in our increasingly pluralistic contexts? How can sacramental worship speak to secular skeptics? In this workshop, participants explore key lessons for the life of your church that emerge from the spread of Christianity across the world.
