✦ Synopsis

The centenary of the historic and influential World Missionary Conference held in Edinburgh in 1910 presented a unique opportunity for the whole church worldwide to come together in celebration, reflection, and recommitment to witnessing to Christ today. Edinburgh 2010 also engaged in serious study and reflection on the current state of world mission and the challenges facing all who seek to witness to Christ today. The results of this research were presented and debated within the context of Christian fellowship and worship at the conference in June 2010. This record of that conference is intended to give the background to that call, to share the spirit of the conference, and to stimulate informed and focused participation in God's mission in Christ for the world's salvation.
