Among Adventists all around the world there is a renewed interest in missions. There is, at the same time, a feeling of powerlessness as they sense the greatness of the unfinished task. There is confusion as to their relationship to other mission agencies. There is a probing for answers to questions such as: Is there salvation outside the Christian message? What is the relationship of Christianity to culture? What is the role of the modern missionary? How does Gospel Proclamation interact with Social Action?
