Long-term
aims:
-
To establish
a mission history resource centre at Maynooth open to researchers on a
cross-denominational, all-Ireland and international basis. This centre
will act, in the long term, as a centralised resource for the study of
mission, a place to which mission organisations / religious groups may
choose to entrust some records and reference materials.
-
To provide
a forum for collaborative research into mission history and for the dissemination
of research findings, linking up with networks of scholars already established
and welcoming scholars from throughout Ireland, the UK and overseas.
-
To provide
education in mission history on a cross-border, inter-denominational, inter-disciplinary
and international basis.
-
To provide
materials for education and further research which explore different understandings
of mission and respect very different theological positions.
