“Mission – backwards looking or on the rise? 99 years after the World Missionary Conference in Edinburgh” was the theme of the conference organised jointly by the German Association for Mission Studies (Deutsche Gesellschaft für Missionswissenschaft) the Protestant Academy (Evangelische Academie) at Loccum, near Hanover on 14-16 September 2009. About 90 scholars and practitioners discussed the legacy of Edinburgh 1910 and the meaning and practice of mission today.
