Vatican II was a ground-breaking experience for the Catholic Church
affecting every aspect of its life and mission. In fact the Council left no part
of the world unaffected, either directly or indirectly in so far as the Council’s
greatest achievement was that it changed the course of the church’s
relation to the world and all human beings with their religions and cultures.
In this sense the church’s service and mission to the world were at the core
of the conciliar reflections. This book evolved from an International Symposium
held at the Yarra Theological Union of the University of Divinity,
Melbourne, Australia on the occasion of the fiftieth year of the promulgation
of the Conciliar Decree on Mission, Ad Gentes.
Thirteen papers were presented at the symposium focusing on the contemporary
issues on mission, as they exist in different parts of the world. The
book offers a window to the world mission theology by writers who not
only belong to the social and cultural diversities but are dealing with these
issues in their mission theory and practice.
