Summary:The annual conference of the Central and Eastern European Association for Mission Studies (CEEAMS) was held in Osijek, Croatia, 13–17 February 2017. Its theme was “Love, Live, and Delight: Conversations in Central and Eastern Europe on Present Day Documents on Mission.” The participants reflected on mission documents from different Christian traditions that have been published in recent years: The Cape Town Commitment (CTC), Together towards Life (TTL), Evangelii Gaudium (EG), and The Mission of the Orthodox Church in Today's World (MOCT). One of the aims of the conference was to identify key themes that are missiologically relevant for churches and Christian communities in Central and Eastern Europe and to find ways to translate them both at the academic level and in mission praxis. One of the conference's objectives was to create a platform from which scholars and reflective practitioners from a variety of Christian traditions and backgrounds were challenged to explore key themes relevant for the mission of their churches in the complex post‐communist settings, while analyzing and comparing these documents.
