http://missionstudies.org/index.php/iams-assembly-2020/
\n\n< p>The International Association for Mission Studies (IAMS) will convene for its 15th Assembly in Sydney, Austr alia, from July 9 to July 14, 2020. Occurring for the first time in Oceani a, the IAMS Assembly will be hosted by the Australian Association for Miss ion Studies, and the meeting will take place at Morling College in greater Sydney.\n\nIn determining the chosen theme, “Powers, Inequalitie s, and Vulnerabilities: Mission in a Wounded World,” the Executive Commi ttee of IAMS is seeking to name and explore our perception that missionary activity is now and has always been undertaken in a world constituted by wounds in many forms. We want to consider this mission—past, present, an d future—mindful of the wounds the world and its peoples face, wounds to which Christian mission has sought to respond and which it has at times h elped create. To that end, we would like our assembly to consider Christia n mission as addressing powers, inequalities, and vulnerabilities from a v ariety of perspectives across the spectrum of mission studies.

\n\ nAt the 15th Assembly of IAMS, we want to offer new per spectives on Christian mission as mission in the context of a wounded worl d. Pressing global and regional concerns reflect such wounds, including th ose linked to the forced dislocations of populations, discrimination towar d migrants, increasing economic inequality, rising nationalisms, and clima te change. New perspectives on such issues linked to mission and reflectiv e of a world shaped by power, inequality, and vulnerability might draw fro m theological or from any other disciplinary perspectives, mindful of the broad nature of mission studies today.
