 Organic Church » Blog Archive » Incarnational Missiology   (Site not responding. Last check: )
One of the implications of an incarnational missiology that I find most attractive is the union that it creates between the mission of the Church and her structure.
It is thus as fruitless to try to separate missiology from ecclesiology as it is to attempt to drive a wedge between the person and work of Christ.
Missiology and ecclesiology cannot be held apart because the Church is the agent of God’s mission.

 theVoiz: The Missiology of the Emerging Church   (Site not responding. Last check: )
The central concern with missiology is a large concern of Emerging Churches in North America, if not all throughout the world.
The problem is that these churches do not end up reflecting the true heart and missiology of the Emerging Church conversation, though the reflection itself may be a little abstract or unclear.
I think this is something that is germane to the missiology of the Emerging Church, or at least a facet of it.

 Missiology
Therefore, basic components that later become "missiology" are neither theology nor history, neither anthropology nor psychology, nor the sum total of these fields of study.
Missiology is a new discipline with a long history.
And this bodes well for missiology as a still developing "science," "discipline," and "separate field of study."

 Direction: Current State of Missiology: Reflections on Twenty-five Years 1968-1993
Missiology is theoretically recognized throughout the worldwide church as an academic discipline in its own right.

Second, will missiology be faithful to its humble calling in being a true servant, a genuine handmaiden of the church by assisting her in the interpretation and implementation of the data to carry out her mission most effectively and expeditiously in our fallen world, or will it simply glory in its academic achievements?
