Rene Padilla - CMS Missiologist in Residence Autumn 08

Rene Padilla is coming to the UK to spend 5 months as CMS Missiologist in residence (staying at the new CMS Mission House)... As well as being a leading voice during the Lausanne Congress, planting churches amongst slum dwellers and drug addicts,  developing a network of student ministries in Latin America and being Emeritus President of the Kairos Foundation (promoting reflection on integral mission in local churches) Padilla is president of the Micah Network, about which he says...

The Micah Network is an encouraging sign of the present-day awakening of the social conscience among evangelicals around the world. Its major strength is that it provides a unique space for evangelical Christians from all over the world to grow together in their understanding and practice of Christian discipleship in a global world affected by consumerism, injustice, and oppression.

My hope is that it will find ways to strengthen practical partnership across national borders in order to counteract the negative aspects of globalization and to globilize human solidarity.”

During his time in the UK he will taking part in several events including "Enough is Enough Revisited" on the  25 October "In a global community, how do Christians define and live 'enough'? A day of reflection on community, food, travel, creation and time." and "Tomorrow's world" A residential weekend, 21-23 November 2008 at Windmill Farm, set in lovely countryside five miles from Faringdon, Oxfordshire - "a chance to hear and interact with one of the leading thinkers of our time."
