| Summary: | This article proposes a clarification of the integral mission concept and a change in the way the relationship between social action and evangelism is understood in practical integral mission operations. The idea of “primacy” of evangelism has been under fire: if evangelism is given “primacy”, then everything else is “secondary”. The “ultimacy” of evangelism concept has been suggested as a solution: evangelism should ultimately not be left undone. The main flaw of the “ultimacy” concept is that it has no time element. |
