While theologies of missio Dei and their divergent missiological developments have been refined and contested in the academy over the past seven decades, the theoretical discussions and even the term itself are still far from commonplace in the life and discourse of many local congregations. Nonetheless, among such congregations there are examples of changing practice and new modes of local mission engagement that seem to be in alignment with aspects of a missio Dei orientation. In this article the experience of one congregation will be considered, asking whether a missio Dei perspective might be discerned in recent initiatives and developments in its engagement with its local community.

在过去的七十年中，虽然密西奥·狄（Missionio Dei）的神学及其在歧义上的错误学发展在学院中得到了完善和争论，但理论讨论甚至术语本身在许多地方会众的生活和话语中仍然相距甚远。然而，在这些会众中，有一些改变惯例的例子，以及新的当地特派团参与模式，这些似乎与密西奥·迪伊方向有关。在本文中，将考虑一个会众的经历，询问在与当地社区互动的最新举措和发展中是否可以辨认出密西欧·迪的观点。
