Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: MIC-MOL
MISSIONS (Lat. missio, a sending) the
term
  used specially for the propagandist operations of the Christian
Church
  among the
heathen
 , the executants of this
work
  being missionaries. Both " mission " and " missionary " have hence come to be used of similar works in other
spheres
 . The history of Christian missions may, for
practical
  purposes, be divided into three
chief
  periods: (1) the primitive, (2) the medieval and (3) the modern.
