Position Papers

WMF "Position Papers" do not necessariliy represent the opinons of the entire WMF community, but seek to articulate alternative positions on issues of mission and spirituality. These positions find their basis in the WMF identity statements (preamble, philosophy of ministry, lifestyle celebrations and vision statement) as well as in the commitment to living out these statements in practical application. We seek to explain "What we mean by" the following topics:
