Com base nas Cinco Marcas da Missão da Comunhão Anglicana, Chris Wright define todo o cuidado de Deus com a redenção e a cura da pessoa como um todo.

" ... we are hearing a call to a fresh understanding of what it means to follow Jesus in our world."From its origins among Latin American theologians, the term 'integral mission' has become a widely-accepted way to describe the totality of God's mission in the world. It is used to express the ways of serving the whole person, making no distinction between spiritual, social, physical and mental, exemplified in the life and ministry of Jesus of Nazareth.In order to become mature co-builders of the Kingdom of God, we need to grasp the Biblical basis for integral mission, and re-discover the challenge and calling of discipleship.Noted Filipino activist and social commentator, Melba Maggay, writes from a Global South viewpoint in her expositions of three key Scripture passages. Together they provide that 'fresh understanding' of the life in its fullness that is our promise.

Mission: a term universally acknowledged but hotly debated in the Body of Christ, his church. What does it mean in the 21st century of diversity and pluralism?Using the Anglican "five marks of mission" as his framework, Chris Wright sets out the whole concern of God for the redemption and healing of the whole person. God's mission is seen to go far beyond the traditional concept of evangelism and church planting. It includes engagement in society in acts of compassion and struggles for justice, and a commitment to the care and renewal of God's creation.
