Abstract
Drawing on insights from Buddhism and personal experience in Japanese-occupied Burma during World War II, the author brings an understanding of mission to the work of the third person of the Trinity. Faithfulness in mission implies recognition of being enlisted in God's design for the redemption of the world. Christ's ministry on earth was characterized from start to finish by the in-filling of the Holy Spirit. For the church, the eschatological community, mission is the most urgent activity, as history is drawing to a close with the imminent return of Christ. There is also urgent need for the church to express its missionary obedience in unity and not in confusing and scandalous division in the midst of a world, which, though unbelieving, is desperately seeking the way out of its predicament.
