1 Process of ologizing in by Charles Van Engen and in part by Shawn Redford.

2 WORD CHURCH Four WORLD Domains PILGRIMAGE Each domain is a sphere of knowledge, influence, activity and relationships.

3 I: Four Domains Bible. Bible: Process of ologizing in is primarily based upon the Bible. Bible tells of the in-breaking of God throughout human history. Bible informs us about the mission of God (the Missio Dei) and provides the missiological examples to follow in Jesus Christ for mission.

4 I: Four Domains Bible ology. reflection of the church has impacted the lenses (or hermeneutical approaches) that have been used to understand the Bible and mission through history. ology is an example of a lens used in the West to understand scripture and mission.

5 I: Four Domains Bible ology. Those who approach the Bible and examine the story of God s mission bring their own set of cultural and personal strengths, weaknesses, and pilgrimage. se affect the way in which scripture and mission is understood and perceived. Bible, the church, the context, and God s mission are all understood through personal (ethnohermeneutical) lenses.

6 I: Four Domains Bible Context of the ology. In each unique context, mission takes place and shapes the understanding of mission and the process of theologizing in mission. manifestation of mission and the theologizing process in mission for that context need to be contextually appropriate. 6

7 Integrating Ideas Levels of Integration and Continuity between Domains 7

8 II. Working with Integrating Ideas Bible Context of the ology Each circle represents a domain of missiology that provides a unique contribution for mission. overlap of one circle with another represents a level of integration and continuity between those two domains. Each domain is a sphere of knowledge, influence, activity and relationships. 8

9 II. Working with Integrating Ideas Bible Context of the ology Likewise the overlap of multiple circles represents a level of integration and continuity in multiple domains. 9

10 II. Working with Integrating Ideas Bible Context of the ology Jesus Christ must be at the center of all the domains of missiology, because the church s mission is the mission of Jesus Christ (the Missio Cristi). 0

11 II. Working with Integrating Ideas Integrating Idea Bible Context of the ology. Integrating Idea: This is the place where all four domains of mission (Bible, Church, Person, and Context) interact and influence each other. integrating idea contains the central themes, paradigms, perceptions, and thinking patterns that are common to all four domains.

12 from ory Action to history, the heart, the action, and the praxis of mission.

13 III. Holy Spirit and Prayer Bible Integrating Idea Holy Spirit and Prayer Holy Spirit and Prayer 6 Context of the ology Holy Spirit and Prayer Holy Spirit and Prayer 6. Holy Spirit and Prayer: From Pentecost forward, mission is the action of the Holy Spirit through the agency of the church. water in the channel represents the place where all the theory and action of mission are saturated in the guidance of the Holy Spirit and prayer.

14 III. History Integrating Idea History of Action 7 Holy Spirit and Prayer 6 Bible Context of the ology 7. History of Action: Everywhere you go, there exists a history of the church s interaction with that context. re are both direct and indirect historical factors. History of Action has often been ignored in missiology. However, this is first area to work through, because throughout history people have tended to first go and do mission, and then they have realized that they need to theorize about their actions.

15 Context of the Bible III. History ology Integrating Idea History of Action 7 History of ory Ecumenical Evangelical Orthodox Pentecostal/ Charismatic Roman Catholic 8 Holy Spirit and Prayer 6 8. History of ory: re is also a mission theory associated with the action, and it is this history of theory that will help guide us. particular theological traditions (Ecumenical, Evangelical, Pentecostal/Charismatic, Orthodox, Roman Catholic) have influenced the theoretical framework that has informed mission action.

Heart ology Integrating Idea Four Domains - Present Time Past Future History of Action 7 Context Agents Motives Message Means Goals Utopia Results Partnership Community Presence History of ory Ecumenical Evangelical Orthodox Pentecostal/ Charismatic Roman Catholic 8 Missio Dei Missio Hominum es Ecclesiarum Missio Politica Oecumenica Heart of ology 9 Holy Spirit and Prayer Missio Futurorum/Adventus 6 9. Heart of ology ( Grid): This is the point where we move from the past to the future. This is the critical integrative step. It begins to bring all of the thinking done so far into organization. It transforms and focuses our missiological reflection into issues of the mission practice. This is the move from description to prescription. vertical aspects of God s mission (Missio Dei, etc.) interface with the horizontal categories of human mission action (Motivation, Means, Agents, Goals, etc.) in a complex interweaving of divine and human interaction. Each square of the grid constitutes a specific missiological question with a particular emphasis. 6

Preparation for Action. Based on the integration offered by the grid, the missiologist begins to inquire regarding the inter-relation of church and context in a specific time and place. In this new here and now there are specific issues of the church s missional dimension and missional intention vis-à-vis the context. For example: How is the church already engaged in mission in it s context? What resources does the church have to carry out mission? 8

A modified version of a Hiebert centered-set diagram is shown that depicts the church moving towards Christ and at the same time carrying out mission in the church s context (represent by the arrow behind the churches). one cannot exist without the other. churches moving away from Christ are not involved in mission. 9

Reflection on the Action: Reflection, re-examination, re-thinking, and reconceptualizing are needed at this point. Reflection should take place addressing the consistency between the action taken and the initial conceptualization found in the integrating idea. Where there are anomalies, inconsistencies, and contradictions between the understanding of the integrating idea and the action taken, we must look more carefully. place of the anomalies is the place where the reconceptualization begins all over again. This creates a process of action and reflection which is molded through time. 0

In this process, it is evaluated, examined, enhanced, energized, enacted, and finally reintegrated with the four original domains so that reconceptualization can take place leading towards a refinement of mission. Over time, therefore, this becomes an iterative process that is constantly making adjustments in mission theory and practice.

23 Hermeneutical Spiral

24 THE FOUR ARENAS OF MISSIOLOGY Chuck Van Engen Missiology is centered in Jesus Christ. For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whosever believes in him will not perish but have everlasting life. -- Jn. :6 At any particular time, space and context, a specific integrating idea emerges to hold together, synthesize and direct the multidisciplinary unity of missiological action. THE BIBLE THE CONTEXT OF THE CHURCH S MISSION IN THE WORLD JESUS CHRIST THE CHURCH S REFLECTION : HISTORICAL AND SYSTEMATIC THEOLOGY Integrating Idea PERSONAL SPIRITUAL EXPERIENCE, PERSONAL PILGRIMAGE, SPIRITUALITY Missiology is one integrated discipline.
