Mission Catalyst
Issue 2 – 2024 – The defiance of unquiet women
This issue of Mission Catalyst (in its new A5 format) was conceived in the light of Project Violet, an extensive investigation into women's experiences in Baptist ministry in the UK. With a variety of voices including Pastor Jyoti Ratna, Rev Dr Amutha Deveraj, Dr Valérie Duval-Poujol, Ttendo Miller, Debora Röhl, and Rev Dr Simon Woodman, plus photos by Jesse Johnson and Natalia-Nana Lester-Bush's regular column, Mission Catalyst uses Project Violet to shine a brighter light into women's experiences across the globe.
Previous Issues
Issue 1 – 2024 – Are you sitting comfortably?
This issue of Mission Catalyst celebrates 75 years of the International Baptist Theological Seminary. Mike Pears addresses questions of space and exclusion, David Burau, Kieryn Wurts and Matt Norman think about why we need theology, and Marion Carson shares a story of grounded theology in a pastoral context. There’s shelf awareness from Ingeborg te Loo and Natalia-Nana’s regular column examines othering, while Malky Currie’s page designs expand your exploration of all these themes.
Issue 2 - 2023 - The Road to Reconciliation
Mission Catalyst is BMS World Mission’s magazine for thinking Christians, providing intelligent comment on faith and culture. Each issue of Mission Catalyst features Q&As with challenging thinkers, accessible articles and the space to think deeper and more broadly on the most important issues facing our world. In this issue: As the UK church across the denominations prepares for rifts, rips and worse over the issue of human sexuality, this issue looks to the Global church for theologies of healing, a subject brought yet more sharply into focus by the conflict between Israel and Hamas. Matty Fearon, René August, Martin Accad, Camille Hernandez, Katy Hayward and regular columnist Natalia-Nana Lester-Bush share their stories to help illuminate our pathways.
