The Lausanne Covenant author starts of by telling the reader their beliefs. They believe that God’s good news for the whole world is the Gospel. More than 150 nations were involved in the International Congress of World Evangelization. They proclaim that they are “deeply stirred by what God is doing in our day, moved to penitence by our failures and challenged by the unfinished task of evangelization”. By reading the introduction of The Lausanne Covenant you notice how they are determined to spread the Gospel to everyone in the world.
The author then goes on to explain the purpose of God. They explain that they “affirm their beliefs in one-eternal God, Creator and Lord of the world, Father, Son and Holy Spirit,

They realize and are ashamed that they have denied their calling and failed in their mission. They did denied their calling and failed their mission because they withdrew from it. In a more positive way they dedicated themselves to the task of their mission. The Lausanne Covenant uses both the Old and New Testament Scriptures as their inspiration, truthfulness, and their authority. The message of the Bible isn’t just addressed to men, or just to women. It is addressed to both genders. They inform us that there is only one Gospel. There is only one Saviour. They declare that God is both the Judge and Creator of all men. The Lausanne Covenant believe that faith without works is dead. They tried to figure out and understand how to reach their own area and send missionaries out to other parts of the world, because western missions is disappearing at a fast pace. More than two-thirds of humanity have not yet been evangelized. The Lausanne Covenant admit that they are ashamed that this many people have been neglected in finding the gospel. To fix this they say it is time for all churches to pray earnestly for the salvation of the unreached. …show more content…
That is their number one mission. The Lausanne Covenant has been positive and beneficial throughout their movement. They understood that people in the world has lost their way to Christ, but they are willing to help them to find it. They have impacted the global church by spreading the gospel to every nation around the world. They want everyone to receive the gospel. They also have impacted Southern Baptist. Southern Baptist take the gospel to people that have never learned nor heard it. They set goals in reaching all of the un-evangelized people, so that those people will not be neglected. They will help them find and understand the gospel. The Lausanne Covenant thanks God throughout the document and show their gratitude toward Him and His

    Some of the Pentecostal and Evangelical communities which, for a long time, had adopted an anti-ecumenical stance increasingly became open to ecumenical dialogue. One of the main outcomes of the Common Understanding and Vision (CUV) process was the creation of the Global Christian Forum as a way of broadening the fellowship. The GCF is a broad ecumenical platform which brings together the WCC, Roman Catholics, Orthodox, Pentecostals and Evangelicals for engagement and dialogue. In a sense this is a way of acknowledging that the Spirit is at work in the different ecclesial realities and that we should therefore listen to one another. One of the questions I wish to address in this presentation is what is the significance of these developments for ecumenism in the 21st century.…

    Hirsch's main focus in this article was this idea of a missional-incarnation impulse. He stresses that the church needs both foundations to achieve God's mission. He states on page 128, "The missional-incarnation impulse is, in effect, the practical outworking of the mission of God (the missio Dei) and of the Incarnation...It is thus rooted in the very way that God has redeemed this world, and in how God revealed himself to us". To have a missional-incarnation impulse, you must strive to spread the Gospel to ALL groups of people. I really like what he talks about on page 132 as well. He mentions God's intentions when sending Jesus to earth as flesh and blood, "we can understand him because he is one of us" ( Pg. 132). I agree with Hiersch…

    On March 18, 1958, at the corner of Fourth and Walnut in Louisville, Thomas Merton had an experience that changed the way he viewed the world and everyone in it. Merton had an epiphany that changed his self-understanding and his sense of mission. On this day, Merton acquired an awareness of unity that he wanted to share with the world so everyone would wake up from our dream that everyone is separate. Merton is not the only theologian that tried opening the eyes of the world. Elizabeth Johnson in her book, Quest for the Living God, also talks about the Christian goal of unity across different topics. Both of these theologians ultimately have the same goal but discuss it in very different ways.…

    One of the most prominent Reformers was Martin Luther. Throughout his effort to bring change to the Church, Luther reintroduced the clear Biblical truths of the priesthood of all believers and justification by faith through Christ. Martin Luther gleaned these doctrines from his reading of Scripture. In Hebrews, the teaching of the priesthood of all believers through the work of Christ is explained, “The Lord has sworn and will not change his mind, ‘You are a priest forever.’ This makes Jesus the guarantor of a better covenant. The former priests were many in number, because they were prevented by death from continuing in office, but he holds his priesthood permanently, because he continues forever. Consequently, he is able to save to the uttermost those who draw near to God through him, since he…

    When looking at something that is very large, such as the universe, a militaristic entity, or a massive political conflict, it can be hard to make any sense out of the sheer multitude of sensory experiences. Looking at something small, in contrast, is simple and easy to understand. Therefore, a useful way in understanding the whole would be to look at individual parts, and eventually the sum of the parts will lead to a conception of the entire entity. Richard Feynman’s The Character of Physical Law utilizes this very theory to promote an understanding of fundamental physical law in the hopes elevating the beauty that people see in the world.…

    The church is the community of God’s children, which is essential for salvation. Whether the community is together in fellowship, as a congregation, or during global ministry, each avenue leads people to salvation. In 7.1 of The Christian Reader it states, “For Irenaeus, the gospel had been corrupted by those outside the church; in order to be assured of the integrity of the Christian proclaimed the apostolic preaching.” This quote emphasizes that the preaching of the gospel is important to its listeners and leads them to spiritual growth, proving that the church plays a necessary role in salvation. Another important role that the church plays in salvation is through baptism. In 8.2 of the Christian Reader it states, “Being baptized, we are enlightened: being enlightened, we are adopted as sons: being adopted, we are made perfect; being made complete, we are made immortal.” This quote gives me enlightenment on the depth of importance that baptism in leading us to salvation. Martin Luther helps to thoroughly explain what baptism is in 8.20 of the Christian Reader, “Baptism is not just water on its own, but it is water used according to God’s command and linked with God’s Word.” This clarifies what baptism truly represents. Baptism is an important sacrament that plays a major role in our…
