In an age where mission is often stripped to institutional metrics, strategic plans, and hollow slogans, "From Propaganda to Mission: Upholding Integrity in Ecumenical Engagements" summons the church back to its core. Rev. Eric P. Baldonado passionately argues that the heart of authentic ecumenical witness is integrity. Weaving together personal narrative, rich theology, and prophetic prayer, this book is a compelling call to reclaim mission as a shared vocation rooted in justice, humility, and grace. Moving beyond performative gestures, Baldonado challenges the church to rediscover its true calling: to walk alongside the marginalized, listen deeply, and speak truthfully. Structured around four evocative pillars, faith journey, theological reflection, communal task, and devotions from the edge, the book offers a tangible path for those yearning to see the church embody a more transformative presence. Each section of the book invites prayerful reflection and actionable insight drawn from lived experience. Serving as both a companion and a resource for ministers, students, and communities, this work renews our understanding of mission amidst contemporary crises. With pastoral clarity and prophetic urgency, Baldonado reminds us that true mission is not about conquest, control, or conversion, but about communion, courage, and the costly grace of solidarity.
"This book serves as a compelling invitation to live out the truth of the gospel while striving for the visible unity of the Church. Now is the moment to create a unity that endures the challenges of time. This book is highly recommended as a reference and guide for ecumenical leaders, advocates, and workers. Get your copy NOW!"
