The Five Marks of Mission

The Five Marks of Mission, developed by the Anglican Consultative Council between 1984 and 1990, have won wide acceptance among Anglicans, and have given parishes and diocese around the world a practical and memorable way of considering missional activities. They were adopted by General Convention in 2009.
