Abstract
In this article, the researcher argued for a thoughtful, reflexive and
integrated theological praxis befitting the ever-changing globalised innercity
context of Johannesburg. In relation to mission, he highlighted an
evolving threefold contextual issue, i.e. demographic explosion, religious
plurality and expansion of poverty to contend with in Johannesburg inner
city and also highlighted that these very contextual issues present us with
both challenges and opportunities for urban mission and missiology. Hence,
he proposed a paradigm for the city based on Jeremiah 29 and a framework
made of six tenets for developing inner-city missional congregations.
These tenets are ecumenical, contextual, based on interactive and shared
process, integrated and holistic, engaging different sources which inspire
praxis and transformation. These tenets put together in a paradigm and as
a framework, will assist inner congregations towards developing a face of
urban ministry and missiology, which could be relevant and appropriate
in globalised inner cities such as Johannesburg.
