The 5 Marks of Mission

There is no such thing as 'world mission'
All mission is local and all mission is global

The Anglican Consultative Council has identified 5 'Marks' of mission, which CWAG believes should characterise every 'church', local, national, denominational and global.

The ACC Five Marks of Mission are:

1. To proclaim the Good News of the Kingdom.
2. To teach, baptise and nurture new believers.
3. To respond to human need by loving service.
4. To seek to transform the unjust structures of society.
5. To strive to safeguard the integrity of creation, and sustain and renew the life of the earth.

Although each local context is different, these 5 'marks' could easily form the basis of a comprehensive parish or deanery mission plan.

And all the hard work's already been done!
