Abstract
Several major missiological emphases stand out in examining Anabaptist thought. They can be gathered under the six headings of ‘kingdom theology’, mission as discipleship, a cruciform mission, peacemaking, mission from the margins, and mission in community. These emphases all point towards living out a clear alternative to the ways of the world, engaging in the world but marching to a different drum. On the one hand it seems radical and difficult as we ‘try’ to follow Jesus. On the other hand it often amounts to ‘not trying’ but rather experiencing the risen Christ in life together. Mission is the overflow of our enjoyment of God’s gracious reign.
