The Christian mission is a work realizing God`s concern of salvation in the world. So we expect that the understanding of mission is closely related to the understanding of salvation. Traditionally Eastern Orthodox Church understands salvation in relation to the doctrine of the Trinity. In their tradition salvation is participation in life and love of Triune God. Salvation will be completed in the achievement of deification of human being. Deification means being conformed in our personal existence to God` s personal existence, achieving right relationship with God. Deification can be possible because of the triune God, who is embracing the other. The incarnation and the resurrection of Jesus Christ is the event that shows the basis and goal of the salvation of human being. Christification is the ontological foundation of salvation(deification) as well as the goal of mission. Holy Spirit is the principle of union and communion. The Spirit santify human being and enable human being to become Christification. To be Christification, christians should be in the church and assisted by sacraments of the church. We can summarize the understanding of Eastern Orthodox Church on salvation and mission as follow: 1. Salvation and mission is grounded in person and mode of triune God. And the goal for salvation and the mission is the restoration of communion between God and human being. 2. Eastern Orthodox church believes the salvation is realized by church itself rather than saving each individual person. The mission is not a specialized activity of the missionary. The church itself is and realize the mission in the world. Even though Eastern Orthodox church has good insights on salvation and mission, they have not developed effective mission theory and practice in the world. The reasons are as follow: 1. Being concentrated on orthodox doctrine of early church, Eastern Orthodox Church became static and introverted. Therefore they were not motivated to renew the church and theology in the world. 2. Eastern Orthodox Church believes that the mission is realized by church itself. It weakened the motivation of mission to the other culture and non-believers. 3. As Eastern Orthodox Church has close connection with the state, they didn`t try to change the world in which they live. The church couldn`t develop the theology of `missio Dei.`
