Johannes Reimer

Over the years of Micah Global facilitating integral mission conversations and dialogues around God's mission, a question keeps arising - "What do we mean by church?" There seems to be a growing need to explore this question and seek a way of answering it in a way that unites us for God's mission. Micah invited Johannes Reimer to lead a working group on this question and it soon became apparent that instead of asking the question "What is church?" we needed to radically rethink church by exploring God's Word together and drawing out key attributes that we could all agree on. For grassroots transformation to take place we need grassroots agents of change - who better that God's people called out to take responsibility for God's world?

Evangelical Christians in many countries shy away from politics. And yet, especially with the rise of the Pentecostal and charismatic movements, the interest and involvement in political activity is becoming a daily reality in evangelical circles. At the same time, evangelical politicians are not exempt from scandals of corruption and complaints of ineffectiveness. Are Christians unable to do better politics than others? Are they less prepared? Is even the whole political involvement of Christians under question? In this book, Dr Johannes Reimer explores the answers to these questions by articulating a theology of the church's political mission. The church is not a political party, but as God's ecclesia, it has a prophetic voice and is called out of the world to take responsibility for the world.
