Currents in Theology and Mission from Wartburg Seminary
This issue, *Flourishing: Rural Communities and Land in Global Perspective*, includes proceedings from the International Rural Churches Association quadrennial gathering in 2023 with the theme, “Flourishing: Land, People, Community.”
The word *flourishing* was chosen with intention both as encouragement to seek out and celebrate rural realities that are
flourishing, but also as aspirational to encourage work toward God’s intent for the flourishing of all God’s land and people.
The issue includes the Bible study, keynote address, and a collection of articles that give snapshots of the state of rural and small-town contexts globally.
