For where things are as they should be, there is no need for small mission societies to be organized within the church, for the whole church must itself be a great mission society....

Yes, brother. I have always thought having a dedicated "mission track" for pastoral formation was a bit odd; such a moniker implies there is also a "non-mission track", much in the same way that "evangelism committees" at church provide opportunities for people to "not do evangelism" because they are "not part of that committee..." But are we not all on the "mission track"?
