SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
Like Bernard, Bulgarian academic and missionary Parush Parushev names some of the way forward for missionary engagement in contemporary Europe, particularly in those countries formerly dominated by the Soviet Union. Parushev argues that the integrity of Christian mission is ensured by a holistic approach which witnesses to God's transforming presence in one's life, in pastoral assistance for the down and out, and, in enduring social commitment to challenging, and redeeming those aspects of societal life not in harmony with gospel values.
