| Summary: | This article outlines mission theologies and practices of women trainees for mission in Brazil. The women are from the usa, Central America, and Brazil and assigned to mission work in Brazil with the us-based “Mission Society”. Nine interviews from a missionary training session in July 2008 are analyzed in order to: (1) articulate the spoken mission theology of women trainees; (2) identify everyday practices that women mission trainees engage in related to their mission calling and work; (3) relate the dislocation experienced by the women to sustaining practices and character traits they developed by utilizing the lived experience of their everyday practices; (4) describe the fuller theology of mission that results and make suggestions for incorporating women’s mission theologies based on practices into stated mission theologies, showing how everyday practices of women doing mission can enhance missiological understandings. |
