Assuming All That Is Asian: Becoming A Truly Local Church In Dialogue, Ruben C. Mendoza
Assuming All That Is Asian: Becoming A Truly Local Church In Dialogue, Ruben C. Mendoza
Asia Pacific Mission Studies
Ruben C. Mendoza attempts to show how the theological principle of the incarnation lies at the heart of and informs the FABC’s vision of the local Church. It is expressed in the FABC’s theological methodology, the triple-dialogue approach to mission, mission of service, and emphasis on the building up of local Churches. For the FABC, the Church of Asia, in becoming truly local, is called to assume all that is truly Asian.
Prophetic Dialogue With Cultures And Religions In Fiji: A Pastoral Imperative, Timoci Kolodisi
Prophetic Dialogue With Cultures And Religions In Fiji: A Pastoral Imperative, Timoci Kolodisi
Asia Pacific Mission Studies
Timoci Kolodisi begins with a survey of the geography, ethnic groups, socio-cultural and political landscape, and the religious affiliations of the islands of Fiji. He then describes the society’s traditional social structures with its worldview, values, and beliefs before discussing the coming of Christianity to the islands, and the early efforts at inculturation. In conclusion, he invites the Church—if it wishes to be an effective sign and a path to peace—to focus on its spiritual meaning and enhance its relations with the different communities and religions in Fiji.
A Comparative Analysis Of The Concept Of Revelation In Christianity And Islam, Vincent Battaglia
A Comparative Analysis Of The Concept Of Revelation In Christianity And Islam, Vincent Battaglia
Asia Pacific Mission Studies
Christians and Muslims have a mutually irreconcilable understanding of the form and content of divine revelation, so argues Vincent Battaglia. He outlines the concept of revelation from both a Christian and Islamic perspective, and contrasts the two approaches by noting similarities and differences between their respective traditions. He then identifies some theological challenges within the Christian-Islamic dialogue and briefly develops rudiments of an Islamic revelation from a Christian perspective. Finally, he argues that since both traditions share a fellowship of faith, they can have a sense of being “the nearest in affection” to one another (cf. Qur’an5:85).

A New Way Of Being Church: Fabc Teachings On Basic Ecclesial Communities, Ramesh Lakshmanan
Asia Pacific Mission Studies
Asian bishops and general AsIPA (Asian Integral Pastoral Approach) assemblies have always insisted that the Asian Church has to be participatory. This is realized through Basic Ecclesial Communities (BECs). BECs encourage lay participation in the life and mission of the Church, particularly in the parishes. BECs have brought a new dimension to the ministry of the Church. They have become a good platform to carry out new ministries. This article presents the teachings of the Asian bishops and the AsIPA in their final statements.
