Event Details

In recent years, we have witnessed significant events both in Singapore and around the world. Several observers would say that we might be living at the cusp of dramatic social changes. In response, as Singapore endeavours to refresh our nation’s social compact, we believe that the Church in Mission also needs to renew our missional compact, and a renewed approach to mission is necessary for our present-day context.

What can we learn, and might we be repeating mistakes from the past? Come engage with our 2 speakers as we learn from the historical practices of colonial mission, and re-imagine our methods of missions in today’s fast-changing landscape within Southeast Asia.
