Cathedral chapter member Markus Hofmann defines mission as an encounter with Christ

Cathedral chapter member Markus Hofmann addressed the meaning of mission during a sermon for World Mission Sunday. He stated that faith is not a moral system.

Hofmann noted that the term mission can cause discomfort for some people who associate it with intolerance, colonisation, or acting superior to others. He clarified that mission is not a tool created by the Church for its own preservation. Instead, he described it as a mandate from Jesus Christ to go into the whole world and proclaim the Gospel to all creatures.
