"There is no longer a great difference between foreign missions and home missions. . . . Thus, unless we subscribe to the apostolic declaration of Acts 4:12: "There is no other name," we cannot claim that our ‘mission’ activities at home and abroad, are genuinely Christian missions. . . . These are some suggestions I make concerning the study and practice of missions during the new century. First, integrating the study of world religions with systematic theology must strengthen the theological training of ministers. Our present situation requires an augmenting of our field of theological knowledge. We need to learn and understand the basic tenets and practices of the followers of world religions who have become our neighbors. The foreign fields have come to us." - Rev. Bassam M. Madany
