A mission is an organized attempt to spread a
religion. Throughout its history Christianity
has been the most assertive of missionary
religions, Islam has also played a missionary
role. Missionary activity in the Third World
has frequently been criticized for its
disruptive effects on indigenous peoples and
their traditional social, political, and
cultural systems.
