The true taste of integral mission is to discover a holistic approach and integrate the need of all creations. It seeks to transform all contextual issues into meaningful content. The greatest mission of Christianity lies in practical implications and not in intellectual arguments. It is based on the experience of faith derived from situational commitment. Thus, the profound human longing for integral mission in the Christian mission is not an anomaly. The mimicry of foreign knowledge in the society and the obsession of religiosities in religion (read church) serve as a bad omen for the future of the society. Integral mission, therefore, is super-organic and engages faith beyond belief. Contents Foreword Preface Part One: Mission and Social Engagement 1.
