Home fires burning

If imitation is the highest form of flattery, then how other organisations have seized the word ‘mission’ from the churches that originated the term is high praise indeed. Even in ordinary conversation we talk about a woman or man ‘with a mission’ indicating someone who has a strong single-minded commitment to some worthwhile project. So many places display their ‘mission statement’ or charter; advertising their commitment to quality of service.

The classic understanding is that mission stems from an individual Christian’s desire to share his or her faith with others. It is the spark that continues to lead many to make huge sacrifices, leave home and everything familiar to share the message they learned at home as children. Ordinary people who are prepared to lead extraordinary lives. Today, Irish faith tends to be far more ‘shy’. The blaze of faith seems more a flickering ember today. Even the modern missionary lives in different times. Questions of justice and environment loom large, a positive attitude towards other religions is also needed teamed with an awareness of how culture- bound our own vision of Christianity is. A missionary is one above all who thirsts for God and God’s people.
