Recovering Monastic Values for Mission Today

EMQ » April - May 2026 » Volume 62 Issue 2

AI generation disabled

Summary: In this article, I explore two values of historic monastic mission – study and simplicity – that contributed to missionary spirituality. Illustrating these values through two modern evangelical examples, I invite the reader to consider the importance of study and simplicity and how they might be recovered for mission today.
