The Mission and Dialogue of Encounter
Missiology: An International Review
Published online on March 26, 2013
Abstract
In the past two centuries, the Algerian church has witnessed a number of Christians who have demonstrated that gospel living requires promoting peace and respect for all people. The stories of the Trappists of Staouéli, Charles de Foucauld, Leon Duval, Christian de Chergé, and the Trappists of Tibhirine indicate in various ways that mission and dialogue entail loving encounter of one’s neighbor in concrete ways in the daily interactions of life. Their legacy finds expression in some contemporary views on missiology.
