John Driver, in his 1997 book Images of the Church in Mission is an excellent discussion of the different reasons that people feel themselves called to follow a mission within the Christian church. His writing on this issue is clearly influenced by his own Anabaptist training and nearly a half-century of missionary work in Latin America. He argues throughout the book that we must each look to our own salvation and that the church is primarily responsible to its members and to those who are called rather than to society as a whole. He further argues that the church should not be oriented primarily to the outer world, should not try to attempt to reform society at large because such a reformation is not possible.
