    Manila Manifesto 1989 and its Missional Implication

    The Manila Manifesto is an elaboration of the Lausanne Covenant fifteen years later, adopted
    in 1989 during the Second International Congress on World Evangelization held in Manila,
    Philippines, is a significant document in the ecumenical movement. More than 3000 people
    from about 170 countries have gathered in Manila with the same purpose and have
    proclaimed the Manila Manifesto. During the 15 years between the Congresses held some
    minor consultations in regards to gospel and culture, evangelization and social responsibility,
    a simple lifestyle, and the Holy Spirit and conversion. The main focal deliberation was the
    prospects for the fulfillment of the Great Commission. This manifesto outlines a vision for
    mission that reflects a commitment to justices, peace, and reconciliation. It emphasizes the
    integration of evangelism and social action, advocating for the church to be actively involved
    in addressing systemic issues such as poverty, oppression, and environmental degradation.

    The Manila Manifesto takes two main themes of the congresses; “Proclaim Christ until he
    comes,” and “Calling the whole world.” The first part consists of a series of short statements.
    The second part elaborates on twelve sections, which present to the churches so that, together
    with the Lausanne Covenant, they may be studied and put into practice. The manifesto also
    highlights the importance of contextualizing the gospel message, ensuring the mission
    activities are relevant to the local cultural and social realities.

    In essence, the Manila Manifesto serves as guide framework for ecumenical endeavors,
    urging churches to engage in a mission that is both evangelistic and socially transformative.
    By adhering to its principles, churches can contribute to the creation of more just and
    compassionate society, in alignment with the broader ecumenical vision of global solidarity
    and social justice.
