“…you will be my witnesses
in Jerusalem, in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” --Acts 1:8b
A glocal mission reflects both local and global considerations. Because of the vast changes in technology, commerce and communication, things happening across the world impact and effect what is happening across the street from the local mission center. The “ends of the earth” are accessible on demand with a click of a mouse, a few taps on a keyboard or the push of a button on the TV remote. Because of these changes, it is no longer easy to tease out what is “Global Mission” and what is “Local Mission” the way our fore-bearers did. This year, with the help of an ELCA Glocal Mission Team, we will be exploring the connections and intersections between local and global missions through music, worship, workshops, learning and conversation. We are glad you are here!
