Missiological Societies

The following is a list of missiological societies, networks and study groups which we have contact to or are aware about. By listing these associations/networks nothing is said about the the nature of the mission studies being undertaken in these associations. Some would lean more towards the academic, some towards mission praxis. But all are involved in mission studies.

We would like to create links to more societies for the study of mission. Please send information networks not listed below to iams@cms-uk.org
