Based on research into British Millennials’ involvement in international Christian missions, this book asks why – given the trends in faith in the UK – are some still choosing to become missionaries? in British Millennials in Global Mission, Alison Allen explores how Millennial missionaries merge aspects of the evangelical Christian metanarrative with what they find in the wider British cultural discourse, discussing also their understanding and practice of “mission” and the extent to which these differ from previous generations. Harnessing the tension between these differing narratives, Millennial missionaries combine the Millennial interest in the concept of authenticity with self-exploration which aims at discovering and becoming who God made them to be, rather than who they feel they should be. This book outlines the characteristics often attributed to the Millennial generation and discusses how accurate these appear to be, and considers what we can learn from studying generations in this way.
