Australian Anglican Board of Mission welcomes ACC Changes to the 5 Marks of Mission
The change to the fourth Mark of Mission reflects the importance of God's mission in peace, conflict transformation and reconciliation.
ABM has responded by revising its fourth Mark of Mission to “Challenge violence, injustice and oppression, and work for peace and reconciliation”. Previously the fourth mark has been to “Challenge injustice and oppression”.
Education Missioner for ABM, Brad Chapman, explained that the Five Marks of Mission are more than just words.
"The Marks of Mission emerge from the lived experience of God's people throughout the Anglican Communion," Mr Chapman said. "They reflect God's active presence in the world today".
