# What was the mission of Jesus? What is the mission of the church? What is the mission of the minister?

William Henry Green, a professor at Princeton Theological Seminary in the 19th century, answered these questions in a brief sermon on Luke 4:18-19 at the installation service of Rev. Heman Timlow in 1856. This sermon (along with the charge by Daniel Dana) can be found [here](/authors/william-henry-green), where we plan to upload more of Green’s works in the future!
