This study investigates the concept of Partnership in Mission (PIM) from a historical
perspective and evaluates its appropriateness as a current model for mission. The
origin and definition of the term, the historical development of PIM in the World
Mission Council (WMC) of the Church of Scotland (CoS) and its predecessors are
considered. The period under review can be said to begin with the twentieth century
missionary movement and the 1910 Edinburgh conference of the International
Missionary Council [IMC] and continue until the present time, although the main focus
will be on the World Mission Council during the period 1997–2006.
