“Believers desperately need to grasp why and how mission is what they, the whole people of God, are engaged in already as they work…
“…More specifically, they need to grasp why and how the work itself that we do is missionary activity rather than just an occasion for it… It is largely (though not exclusively) through our work that we reflect God’s image and co-operate with him in bringing people and the whole of creation to humanity’s and nature’s ultimate maturity and future.”
