Unity in Mission and Hope Conference
Andrew Walls Centre for the Study of African and Asian Christianity,
Liverpool Hope University, UK
From 19-23 March 1860, the Protestant churches in Liverpool hosted the first world missionary conference, consisting of 126 representatives of various British Protestant missionary societies. The participants discussed “various plans of missionary labour at home and abroad” in order to identify the theoretical and practical implications for Christian witness and service in their times. Fifty years later, the World Missionary Conference in Edinburgh expanded these and many other aspects of Christian witness and service. The 2010 conference will invite scholars from different parts of the world to reflect on other models of living ecumenism.
