To many the very concept of Mission is tarnished with post-imperial guilt and the zeal of proselytism. Yet the command to the church remains, “go ye to all the nations”. How can this be done in a post-modern, relativistic world where all stories and truths must be given equal weight and value?

We are very pleased to welcome the Revd Duncan Dormor, CEO of the United Society for the Propagation of the Gospel (USPG) to help us explore these questions. As an Old Shirburnian he is no stranger to Sherborne and the Abbey and we look forward to hearing from him how a mission centred organisation such as USPG fulfils its calling in the 21st century.
