The church consists of a patchwork of local theologies around the world. Each local theology has the need to be in dialogue with other local theologies and the larger church tradition as it develops and bears witness to God's presence in Jesus Christ within its own cultural context. Staying connected and encouraging participation in Global and North American mission conferences and events is one way the American Society of Missiology supports the essential dialogue necessary for the global church and its mission calling.
