Abstract
This article presents an evaluation of the social and ecclesiastical conditions of the period in which the Methodist Church in Brazil produced and approved its Plan for Life and Mission (PVM). The texts points out the principle theological and pastoral foundations of the Plan, showing the connection with the social emphases of Latin American Theology. The text also indicates that the origin of the PVM was linked to a new pastoral practice and theological comprehension of mission, whose principal reference is the Kingdom of God, understood in the context of social justice. It also demonstrates that it is necessary to widen the horizons of comprehension of the missionary challenges of the Church today, in order that it does not simply ‘repeat’ the PVM, but deepen it, especially in terms of pastoral action more directly linked to the reality of poor individuals and families.
