Abstract

I interrogate the principal mission terms GO and SEND from post-Christendom, post-Western, and World Christianity perspectives, considering our increasingly globalized and polarized world and the emerging context of twenty-first-century Christianity. This approach exposes some of the inherent bias in mission thinking and calls for a perspectival shift toward bidirectionality and polycentrism, as the missionary impetus can now originate anywhere and result anywhere else in the world. Christian mission is no more from the West to the Rest but increasingly from everywhere to everywhere, which requires a new consideration of dispersion and reciprocity that is embedded within a multipolar world.

在全球移民和世界基督教的时代，重新构想“去”和“送”的使命范式

考虑到我们日益全球化和两极分化的世界以及21世纪基督教的新兴背景，我从后基督教时代、后西方和世界基督教的角度询问了GO和SEND的主要使命术语。这种方法暴露了使命思维中的一些固有偏见，并呼吁从视角转向双向性和多中心主义，因为传教士的动力现在可以在世界任何地方产生，也可以在世界其他地方产生。基督教的使命不再是从西方到其他国家，而是越来越多地从各地到各地，这需要对多极世界中的分散和互惠进行新的考虑。
