Study in Theology of Mission on Inter-generational Discourse of Next-generation Ministry

Inter-generation discourse on next-generation ministry in today tends to focus primarily on centripetal mission as its main theological emphasis. Therefore, this study seeks to address this issue and restore a holistic approach to mission by exploring the biblical background and key practical issues of integrative generational discourse, and proposes a “cultural proclamation community” as its theological orientation. The core content is as follows: First, it points out the issues and limitations of generational integration discourse, including 1) the absence of a clear missiological direction, 2) insufficient proactive contextual awareness for holistic mission, and 3) a lack of public theological bilingual ability. Second, the key theological proposals include 1) strengthening the proclamation aspect of church education, 2) a missional transformation of the concept of family discipleship, 3) worship focused on intergenerational proclamation, and 4) intergenerational use of digital media.

Abstract

Inter-generation discourse on next-generation ministry in today tends to focus primarily on centripetal mission as its main theological emphasis. Therefore, this study seeks to address this issue and restore a holistic approach to mission by exploring the biblical background and key practical issues of integrative generational discourse, and proposes a “cultural proclamation community” as its theological orientation. The core content is as follows: First, it points out the issues and limitations of generational integration discourse, including 1) the absence of a clear missiological direction, 2) insufficient proactive contextual awareness for holistic mission, and 3) a lack of public theological bilingual ability. Second, the key theological proposals include 1) strengthening the proclamation aspect of church education, 2) a missional transformation of the concept of family discipleship, 3) worship focused on intergenerational proclamation, and 4) intergenerational use of digital media.
