Mission
is defined in several ways, as evangelization, church planting,
social justice and liberation. One of the emphases in the IME
committee has been on Mission as Reconciliation. This has been
developed in terms of Building Cultures of Reconciliation, through
the International Reconciliation Network (IreNe), and through
programming in Restorative Justice. The latter has often been
together with the Center for Restorative Justice, Suffolk University,
as well as with JUSTPEACE, a program of the United Methodist
Church. Additional informatioin may be found at the following
