Do This in Remembrance of Me: Christ's Commission to Engage in an Incarnational Ministry of Mission That Reaches to the Margins Taurus Myhand

This book aims at helping churches and faith communities develop an incarnational ministry of mission toward those infected and affected by HIV/AIDS that embodies "God's mission, God's intentions and purposes, God's use of human instruments in God's mission, and God's workings through God's people in God's world." It also explores Christ's commission during the Last Supper to "Do this in remembrance of me" as a commission to continue the faithful, relevant and empowering ministry of mission that address the needs of all persons especially those who are at the margins of society. The book responds to the issue of HIV/AIDS by offering a model of ministry that can be used by faith communities to be faithful and relevant as they engage in the work of missions. The incarnational model of ministry utilizes Scriptural interpretation, scholarly research, praxis, and leadership competencies in its development of a foundation for missional engagement.
