Abstract:

We are 40 theologians from different Asian countries who have come together to reflect on the document EA. We are grateful to the document for challenging us to rethink and revision what it means to be Church in Asia. EA brings into focus the importance of an inculturated theology. We acknowledge the need of being Church in a holistic way that recognizes human needs in an Asian context. At the same time, we realize that we have too easily absorbed even dehumanizing elements. We confess our shortcomings. We  remain in great part a clerical Church in which patriarchy, inequality based on ca

Abstract:

The focus of this paper is the elaboration of In Vitro Fertilization and how to respond to it in the light of Catholic moral theology, particularly within the territory of the Asian Catholic Church. The author wants to see how and what basis the Catholic Church uses in response to this phenomenon. This elaboration is then continued by responding in the form of what the Church, especially the Asian Church, should do to respond to this. The method used in this writing is a critical reading of several sources in the form of Church documents, articles on In Vitro Fertilization and several supporti

Abstract:

ABSTRACTThe document Dominus Iesus, issued by the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith on September 5, 2000, was perhaps the most talked-about document in recent church history, both within and without the Catholic Church. Some of the reactions to it, which came from all quarters, were profound, and provided both a field day for the mass media and much data for theological reflections. Significantly missing from theological journals in the West, however, is the response of the Asian church and its implications for Asian theologies. This is a serious omission since Dominus Iesus, seems to

Abstract:

Racism occurs in place. It is any place where human beings dwell such as a certain location, a house, or even a church. Racism is a lived experience that exposes the tragedy of hate and fear of the other. It pushes people into uncomfortable places. Asian Americans have built enclaves across the United States in order to maintain their cultural identity and help in resettlement. These ethnic enclaves have become, however, a way to silence and sideline Asians from the racial debates that has traditionally pitted blacks and whites for centuries.

Abstract:

In 1996, Helen Lee dubbed the departure of second-generation Asian Americans from the non-English-speaking immigrant churches that they were raised in as the “silent exodus”. This nationwide phenomenon was taking place largely because first-generation churches failed to provide the second generation with culturally relevant care that would enrich their ethnic, national, and spiritual identities. Glory, the church of focus in this study, was founded by and is home to many silent exiles. In hopes of being an enriching church for second-generation Asian Americans, pastoral staff and leaders have

It contextualizes the AAM in a particular demographic moment when US-born Asian Americans outnumbered immigrants for the first and only time in American history. Using the example of Japanese American Methodist clergy active in the AAM, it considers how their experiences of state-sponsored incarceration shaped a firm belief that ethnic and racial identity should inform how church leaders do ministry, teach the Bible, and engage soc

Abstract:

Synodality is defined as the way of life and act of the Church. The question is whether this way of life and act has only begun recently, especially when the synod for synodality was echoed throughout the universal Church or it has been existed since the early Church. This article aims to trace the theme of synodality as the way of life and act of the early Church in the Acts of the Apostles. The Lukan sequel was chosen because it recorded many stories about the early Church.

For the Federation of Asian Bishops’ Conferences (FABC), the Holy Spirit appears to serve as a key in understanding and interpreting other religious traditions and how the Church is to relate with their followers. The Asian bishops consistently affirm that the Holy Spirit is actively present in other religions and that these religions contain expressions and practices that are inspired and prompted by the Spirit. This is why these manifestations of the Spirit’s presence demands critical discernment and that these must be in dialogue with the Spirit’s activity in the Church. In and through this

The author proposes a development of the Federation of Asian Bishops Conference’s theology of church as a sacrament of harmony, drawing in particular from the East Asian concept of yin-yang unity and integration. In Daoist beliefs, yin and yang are the generative forces of the cosmos whose blending and balancing result in harmony or the unimpeded flow of Qi-Ch’i. Yin and yang are opposite, complementary, non-dualistic, and fluid qualities of beings/things relative to particular contexts. The yin-yang symbolism can be fruitful for reimagining man–woman, cleric–lay, and other dualities in the ch

Abstract Conversion to Christianity among Southeast Asian highland minorities has been recurrently interpreted as a way of joining a valorised religion that distinguishes converts from often-Buddhist ruling majorities and sometimes as a means of adopting a ‘modern’ way of life. Neither of these explanations, however, seems to appropriately describe the situation of Bunong highlanders who turned to Christianity in Cambodia’s capital in the early 1970s.

In the difficult course of forming a secular nation-state, Asian nations have had to address the dominant religious traditions and institutions of each nation, including Christian churches.

Abstract:

Abstract An examination of the Local Church movement reveals that the major revivalists in the early twentieth century were predominantly women. Yet, most historical sources identify and honor only men as founders and label women as helpers. This has significantly impacted how the church remembers women’s contributions. Although the Local Church often attracts criticism from mainline Protestants because of its unique contextualized theology, members of the communities vigorously defend and advocate for their standpoints. An analysis of the Local Church’s theological development shows that its

Abstract This article discusses a special way in which Asian Catholic women have envisioned their roles in the religiously pluralistic context of Asia. By engaging in dialogue with other religions through service, inter-faith marriage, and collaboration with non-Christian women for women’s liberation, these women have used their special gifts in communicating with other women to bring about a change in relationships among people of other religions. In addition, Asian women’s theological reflection on interreligious dialogue helps enrich the church’s understanding of their role in building a re

Abstract:

While baptisms of African and Asian people in the Dutch Republic have been studied on an anecdotal and often very local basis, a systematic analysis of these baptisms presents a gap in the literature. This article seeks to fill that lacuna by taking the announcements of baptisms of African and Asian people in the eighteenth-century Dutch Reformed Church (the public and privileged church of the Dutch Republic), as reported on in the periodical Boekzaal der Geleerde Wereld, as its point of departure. These baptism announcements not only provide valuable information on the distribution and origin

Abstract:

This paper gives some basic ideas regarding the relationship between globalisation and the Second Vatican Council in Asia as a starting point for more detailed studies in the future. The first part discusses the situation of the churches at the edge of Asian societies and Asian socio-cultural contexts as influenced by globalisation. Then some social concerns are outlined such as poverty, authoritarian regimes and ecological dangers where the church and Asian societies encounter each other. Church engagement in these issues is justified by reference to
