In 2022, the International Association for Mission Studies (IAMS) celebrates the 50th anniversary of its founding in 1972.It will have the occasion to celebrate this anniversary when it gathers for the 15th General Assembly in Sydney, Australia from July 7th-11th, 2022.This is the first time the Assembly takes place in Oceania as it will meet at Morling College in greater Sydney where it will be hosted by the Australian Association for Mission Studies.As the Assembly will take place amid the extraordinary circumstances of the COVID pandemic and the Russian invasion and war in Ukraine, at a time when restrictions are imposed on gatherings and travel is more difficult and expensive, in-person participation by missiologists and missionary-practitioners from all continents will be more limited and therefore the conference will take place in hybrid format.The IAMS Academic Committee chose the theme of "Powers, Inequalities, and Vulnerabilities: Mission in a Wounded World" for this Assembly, seeking to name and explore the perception that missionary activity is now and has always been undertaken in a world constituted by wounds in many forms.At the same time, the events since the beginning of the pandemic in early 2020 and the invasion of Ukraine by Russia in February 2022, in a most vivid, and sometimes painful way, show what powers, inequalities, and vulnerabilities truly mean in our contemporary world.The assembly would like to consider Christian mission as addressing powers, inequalities, and vulnerabilities from a variety of perspectives across the spectrum of mission studies and mission practice
