This essay examines the contemporary concept of mission in the Church of Sweden, by analyzing material from the years 2012 and 2013 published in the magazine Kyrkans Tidning. The concept of mission differs, both among the world’s Christian population and among members of the academic world. For such a diversity to be fruitful and for the communication among those who use the mission concept to be rewarding, I believe that clarification of the individual parts that form the concept of mission is necessary. By using the method of conceptual analysis I have formed and structured different views on mission and arranged them in to five groups. They all represent ways of creating a concept of mission out of factors that are important to them as concept creators. The names of the groups illustrate their different approaches to mission; Believed mediation through ”everyone”, Mission and the clear message, Mission demands teaching and learning, Mission is not static and Mission is getting involved in something where God is always bigger than us. These groups all show that the contemporary concept of mission is created out of an understanding of the perceived reality, as well as a consideration of theological questions formed both by tradition and an ambition to shape the Church of Sweden in a certain way.
