The document discusses the disintegration and potential reintegration of Christian mission. It analyzes factors that have contributed to mission's disintegration, such as relativism, colonialism, and a focus on clergy over laity. The document also presents opportunities for reintegrating mission, such as adopting a posture of humility, reading the Bible with marginalized groups, fostering/adoption, using social media, and empowering all Christians to be missionaries regardless of vocation.

In 2010, researchers at the University of Michigan reported that contemporary college students scored about 40 percent lower than their predecessors in the 1970s on tests assessing their ability to put themselves in other people’s shoes. They were more likely than their parents’ generation to agree with statements like “other people’s misfortunes do not usually disturb me a great deal,” and less likely to agree with prompts like “I sometimes try to understand my friends better by imagining how things look from their perspective” and “I often have tender, concerned feelings for people less fortunate than me.”
