Description
Summary:After reflecting on how the Arusha Conference continues the tradition of World Mission Conferences, this article reflects on the conference's main theme, “Transforming Discipleship”. Transforming discipleship was proposed before the conference as having a threefold meaning. During the conference it was developed in four interlocking plenaries, and in the “Conference Report” it was developed even further. The article concludes with reflections on two other terms that bear promise for the future: “Christ-centredness” and “Theosis.”
