In the mid-2020s many would agree that the world needs to be very different from the way it is now. For Christians this raises afresh the question of mission - what kind of effect is their faith intended to have? This book attempts an answer by considering the Spirit of God as the primary agent of mission and exploring what this means for ecumenism and evangelism. It reckons with destructive forces yet finds hope for transformation in the call to mission.*In the last decade or so, Kenneth Ross has emerged as a major voice in the area of ecumenical mission theology. These pages, written in his careful, elegant, and insightful style, let readers hear that voice clearly and powerfully, and to recommit themselves to mission and unity in today’s violent and troubled world.'Stephen Bevans, SVDLouis 1. Luzbetak, SVD Professor of Mission and Culture, Emeritus Catholic Theological Union, Chicago'Through profound research and discerning analysis, this book orients us to the contemporary understanding of mission as the action of the Spirit of God. It is also an urgent call for our faithful participation in this mission. A must-read for everyone with ecumenism and evangelism at heart.'Dr. Ming-Chu Natalie Lin, Moderator, Council for World Mission

  • Crisis Yet Continuity

    'Studies on the history of the Blantyre Mission in Malawi often suggest that 1881 marked a turning point in the mission’s tradition, following a crisis triggered by a series of scandals that resulted in the dismissal of its top leadership. Kenneth Ross challenges this interpretation, arguing that while a crisis did occur, it did not significantly disrupt the mission’s work. Ros...

    Kenneth R. Ross
    Malawi’s first two Presbyterian ministers, Harry Kambwiri Matecheta and Stephen Kundecha, were ordained in March 1911. Ecclesiastically, this made them fully equal with their European fellow-ministers. There were, however, subtle and not-so-subtle racial codes that reminded them that they were expected to occupy a subordinate position. This Occasional Paper explores how they di...
  • Malawian Missionaries in Tanzania’s Southern Highlands 1916-1928
    Kenneth R. Ross
    Opportunities for Malawians to demonstrate their leadership skills were severely limited during the colonial period. Even the Missions, like Livingstonia and Blantyre, that provided a high level of education often frustrated their graduates by requiring them to work under European supervision on an indefinite basis. This study shows how some early Malawian church leaders took a...
  • Christianity in Malawi
    Kenneth R. Ross
    Many scholars have noted the importance of Christianity in Malawi and have written on the social, economic and political influence of the Christian faith. What is harder to find is a study of the nature of the faith, and an analysis of the inner logic of the religious consciousness which developed in Malawi as its peoples responded to the Christian message. By bringing forward ...
