A history of the Oxford Centre for Mission Studies: A Personal Memoir

Abstract

OCMS, started to address the potential drain of leadership in the Global South Churches through post-graduate studies in the West, is an institution to advance the holistic gospel through research and publications. Studies were rooted in mission engagement with access to the global conversation and with university validation. The Centre’s home in St Philip and St James is traced as well as its culture of community, hospitality and prayer. © 2011, SAGE Publications. All rights reserved.
