The History of the Lausanne Movement, 1974–2010

Robert Hunt

April 2011 T Lausanne movement, inaugurated with the 1974 Lausanne Congress on World Evangelization, has become a potent symbol of evangelical unity in mission, and its Covenant, a representative statement of the mission theology of evangelicalism, as exemplified by Billy Graham and John Stott. It also became a focal point for conflicts that arose when evangelicals sought to fulfill their understanding of the Gospel mandate at the same time as a changing church met a changing world. This article briefly explores the way in which an evangelical response to the emerging ecumenical movement of the 1960s became the locus for conflicting understandings of evangelism and evangelistic priorities from the 1970s to the present day—a period when evangelicalism realized its own cultural, spiritual, and political diversity in the midst of vast changes in world social and political structures.

Public missiology and anxious tribalism

Robert Hunt

It is beginning to appear that modernity and postmodernity have undermined the strength and meaning of a personal identity that participates in and yet is distinct from a universal humanity. Such a shared humanity has been steadily reduced to a barely unique set of biological and social tendencies. The individual, the self, is both accidental and incidental. Trapped between the meaninglessness of the individual biological machine and the fissiparousness of the concept of the human, people are vesting meaning into group identities that promise both endurance and particularity. And just as these groups offer some a more enduring locus for a sense of self, they equally come under threat of dissolution and destruction. We are mercilessly conscious of history, and of all the lost tribes for whom it is the graveyard. The result is a new anxious tribalism. The sense that a tribal identity is crucial for a meaningful life, lived out in the threat of the destruction of the tribe. A public missiology must understand the social and political effects of this emerging anxious tribalism as it enters into a public discourse about the meaning of the gospel in contemporary society.

Christian Identity in a Pluralistic World

Robert Hunt

Christian communities, particularly those in North America and Western Europe are experiencing an identity crisis. They can no longer articulate who they are, how they relate to one another and to their past, or the basis of their continued corporeal existence. The resolution of this identity crisis is possible only when a Christian community recognizes that it does not require a new identity relevant to its situation, but a new way of understanding identity, both personal and corporate. This essay will describe one possible way of understanding Christian identity, as an evangelistic narrative, such that Christian communities can relate faithfully to their past, their present, and their neighbors, and can begin to shape for themselves a distinctively Christian future.
