Cultivating missional change reflects extensively on developments in the broad missional movement since the publication of the seminal book Missional church (1998). Purposely looking backwards, it endeavours to
discern the way forward for missional theology and missional churches. This publication is the outcome of a conference on the future of missional theology and missional churches, held in 2015 in Stellenbosch,

South Africa. Noted missional theologians such as Darrell Guder, Patrick Keifert, Stefan Paas, Graham
Cray and Coenie Burger are amongst the contributors. The book is much more than conference
papers. Important themes concerning the future of being missional surfaced during the conference. The collection, therefore, includes ten chapters written afterwards, serving as an indispensable roadmap for the continuing
conversation on central missional themes. Although critical of the way in which some missional views and practices developed, Cultivating missional change is convinced the term missional is just too important, too central and too meaningful for the Christian tradition to be abandoned. Cultivating missional change offers a clear understanding
of being missional, and promotes a more biblical and well-defined grasp of the Christian church as a missional church.
