Peter Lang AG Dynamics of international mission in the
Book SynopsisThis book assesses the conceptualisation of international mission in the Methodist Church Ghana. It demonstrates that Ghanaian Methodists possess a robust ecclesiology with roots in the Akan concept of «abusua» and an evangelical theology rooted in John Wesley. The author gives interpretations to the ways mission takes place and proposes twelve models of mission whereby members of diasporic communities are agents of mission. As mission is seen a responsibility of the whole church, mission is a common theme related to the migration of Ghanaian Methodists to other contexts, often understood in terms of in the global North. The church’s presence in North America and Europe presents challenges and opportunities that must be negotiated in a broader Methodist mainline milieu.Table of ContentsAfrica – Diaspora – World Christianity – Migration – Methodist – Ghana – Post-colonial – Christendom – Ecumenical – Territorial Christianity – Mainline, evangelical, models of diaspora mission – Church planting – Wesley – Ecclesiology – Polity – E-scale – Missional church – Conciliar – Majority world – Europe – North America

Book SynopsisDie Studie zeigt, wie die europäische Kirchenkultur aus der Reformationszeit mit territorial und flächendeckend organisierten Staatskirchen in Amerika um eine andere Kirchenkultur auf der Basis der Religionsfreiheit ergänzt wurde. Zuerst begegneten sich diese beiden Typen durch die Auswanderer in Amerika. Später erlebten Kirchen aus den USA in Europa Zurückweisungen. Das Aufeinandertreffen dieser Kirchenkulturen führte dort wie hier zu Konflikten. Am Ende wird jedoch ein Paradigmenwechsel sichtbar. Die europäischen Kirchen wurden über Jahrhunderte durch ihren flächendeckenden Alleinanspruch zu Betreuungskirchen. Die methodistische Tradition, um die es in dieser Studie geht, ist geschichtlich durch ihre ursprüngliche Praxis, ihre Theologie und ihre Ordnung als Missionskirche organisiert. Karl Heinz Voigt schildert konkret das Aufeinandertreffen und zeigt darin die speziell europäische Erfahrung. For the first time, Karl Heinz Voigt presents an overview of the four most common uses of the term Methodist in Germany: Catholic Methodists (17th century), Pietist Methodists (18th century), Methodists of Wesleyan tradition (19th century) and Methodists within the Landeskirche. Additionally, he demonstrates that the term Methodist was interpreted in a wrong or misleading manner at universities, in literature and school books during the 19th century. When Methodists began their mission in Germany around 1850 two church cultures collided: one that was state-oriented and one which had developed in freedom of religion. Eventually, he concludes that, starting with John Wesley, since the founding of the church in 1784 there has been an ongoing and unplanned ecclesiological change of paradigm. Instead of local Ministering churches the Methodists organised a worldwide Missionary Church.
