RESEARCH RESOURCES

One of the core values of the American Society of Missiology is to facilitate mutual assistance and exchange of information and encourage research and publication in the study of Christian missions. In support of these core values, ASM lists below links to key research sites:

• Mission Research Resources (GMI)

• MisLinks Research Page (Wheaton)

• Sources for Mission and World Christianity Research (Yale Divinity Library)

• Libraries of the Ecumenical Centre and Bossey Ecumenical Institute (WCC)

• Churches in Mission and Evangelism (WCC)

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.
