In the first part I address the missional church and its praxis: what G od in J esus C hrist together with the H oly S pirit is doing in the world to bring about healing, reconciliation, wholeness, liberation and salvation. In the second section I address the issue of healing from contextual and holistic perspectives. The third part is on reconciling mission and mission as reconciliation. Mission as reconciliation should continually seek to correspond to the specifics of a given context. In short, G od's mission as praxis for healing and reconciliation means serving, healing, and reconciling a wounded and broken humanity.
