Ecclesial Futures publishes original research and theological reflection on the development and transformation of local Christian communities and the systems that support them as they join in the mission of God in the world. We are an international and ecumenical journal with an inter-disciplinary understanding of our approach to theological research and reflection; the core disciplines being theology, missiology and ecclesiology. Other social science and theological disciplines may be helpful in supporting the holistic nature of any research. The journal fills an important reflective space between the academy and on-the-ground practice within the field of mission studies, ecclesiology and the so-called “missional church”.
Ecclesial Futures is a “Diamond Open Access” international juried journal, partnering with @RadboudUniPress and @openjournalsnl. The result for authors is that it is free to publish articles, and for readers it is free to read articles. No fees are applicable at any point in the publication process.

The seven articles in this special issue of Ecclesial Futures offer cutting edge inter-disciplinary academic research into grassroots and indigenous digital expressions of witness. The seven articles present case studies from Africa, Asia, Oceania and Europe, along with missiological reflection on the dynamics of powers and principalities in technological environments.
Researching digital faithbased activism yields insights into theologies generated “on-the-ground,” the role of lay leadership in local Christian communities and the relationship between a local church and its ‘world’ or context. Focusing on digital activism by indigenous communities allows reflection on the place of local churches formed outside of Christendom. Hence, the focus of this special issue on digital activism intersects with the scope and focus of Ecclesial Futures as it investigates God’s mission in the world.
