Abstract	:	Since its establishment in 1948 the World Council of Churches (wcc) has produced and approved two position statements on mission and evangelism: Mission and Evangelism: An Ecumenical Affirmation (1982); and Together towards Life: Mission and Evangelism in Changing Landscapes (2012). This article compares and analyses these documents. It deals with six selected topics: vocabulary; (primary) sources; the connection between world history and mission and church history; systematic mission theology (especially the doctrine of the Trinity); mission spirituality; and the encounter with the adherents of other religions and beliefs. Both documents make the World Council and its member churches more aware of the missionary obligation. The main difference between the documents is the shift from a Christ-centered to a Spirit-centered view on mission and evangelism.
