TOBEY Executive Editor, Princeton Theological Review Who am I to be a witness? Who are you? How can we even dream of being heard when addressing this wide world overcome by complexities, needs, doubts, and suffering? For Karl Barth, the answer is simple. He writes, “The point is, in general terms, that only on the lips of a man who is himself affected, seized and committed, controlled and nourished, unsettled and settled, comforted and alarmed by it, can the intrinsically true witness of the act and revelation of God in Jesus Christ have the ring and authority of truth which applies to other [humans]” (Church Dogmatics IV/3.2, 657). Darrell Guder is such a person, one whose witness is made indelibly clear as Christ’s compassion and conviction simultaneously shine through him. As he retires from his post as the Henry Winters Luce Professor of Missional and Ecumenical Theology at Princeton Theological Seminary, it is the great privilege of the editors at the Princeton Theological Review to present this issue in his honor.

    Translating the Word, Transforming the World “This vital textbook helps us to rethink Christian theology, Christian mission and Christian life. Mis- sion belongs to the very being of Christian identity; it is an ontological reality. As ‘temples of the Holy Spirit’ (1 Cor. 3:16-17; 7:19), Christians witness and share the experienced joy of their life in Christ since the Spirit which inhabits them is never silent but a witnessing Sprit (John 15:26; Matt.10:20). Authentic witness is done and points always toward unity as a condition that the world may believe. It cannot have hidden agendas and is not concerned with the growth of one’s confession. We witness, but people remain free to chose, to decide. Conversion is not our responsibility and concern, nor is it a ‘success’ of our witness. Conversion remains entirely the work of God (Acts 4,47). — Fr Prof. Dr Ioan Sauca, WCC Deputy General Secretary and Director of the Ecumenical Institute Bossey, World Council of Churches TRANSLATING THE WORD, TRANSFORMING THE WORLD An Ecumenical Reader Edited by Amélé Adamavi-Aho Ekué, Marion Grau, Atola Longkumer TRANSLATING THE WORD, TRANSFORMING THE WORLD An Ecumenical Reader Edited by Amélé Adamavi-Aho Ekué, Marion Grau, Atola Longkumer Copyright © 2018 WCC Publications.

  • Mission in the Indian Cultural Context: the Significance of Paul David
    Mission in The Indian Cultur~l Context: The Significance of Paul David Devanandan SIGAARLES" At the closure of Western colonialism and the birth of independence, there was a widespread drawing of distinctions between Western and indigenous Indian thought. It was seen both in the ~ider socio-political and the ecclesiastical realms. Devanandan lived through the period which prepared itself and then went through the change both national and ecclesiastical. He was secretary to KT Paul and accompanied him to the United States where his seven year education between 1925-32 influenced him with liberal Protestant ideas and pragmatic outlook on .life. "Very much a product of the young American society", he started as a teacher at UTC, Bangalore in 1 9 3 2. He emphasised the "ideals of Jesus" as belonging to the core of Christianity and stressed Christian faith in terms of moral and philosophical values1• Soon the theologically and politically outspoken Devanandan wentthrough change2 in his thinking, growing more and more dissatisfied with theological liberalism which was then in vogue. As a student of theological liberalism which reduced his Christianity to a kind of religious philosophy, he revolted against it and found in Kraemer a basis for the renewal of his theology. 3 Devanandan felt drawn to Kraemer who represented the cutting edge between what was developing as the distinction between Western and Indigenous Christian thought. The neo-orthodoxy of Barth, Kraemer and Brunner influenced Devanandan. Yet he noted that ''Barth and Kraemer ... stressed the fact that revelation is from God at the expense of the fact that it is to and for the world of men"4·• Barth denied the possibility of natural theology and Kraemer denied revelation in other religions.

  • From Church-Shaped Mission to Mission-Shaped Church1
    ATR/92:1 From Church-Shaped Mission to Mission-Shaped Church1 Christopher Duraisingh* Though the missional calling of the church is acknowledged by all, often mission remains just a function among many other more pressing tasks in congregations. This paper tentatively explores the ecclesiological and theological re-visioning necessary for a move from “church-shaped” missions to a “mission-shaped” church. Af- ter identifying some clues to missional thinking from the work of Asian theologians, the essay argues that the classical term concur- sus Dei is far more effective than the more recent missio Dei for such a transformation into missional congregations. Developing the notion of concursus Dei as the continuous accompaniment of God in creation or the “God-movement” in judgment and grace, it then briefly turns to a consideration of the marks of leadership for such a mission-shaped church that is keeping in step with God’s already up-and-running movement in creation. “There is no participation in Christ without participation in His mission to the world.” —Wilhelm Richebacher 2 The Challenge The central affirmation that the very being of the church is * Christopher Duraisingh is Otis Charles Visiting Professor in Applied Theology and faculty emeritus at the Episcopal Divinity School, Cambridge, Massachusetts. He has served as General Secretary of the Council for World Mission (London); Di- rector of the Commission on World Mission and Evangelism of the World Council of Churches (Geneva) and its Executive Secretary for Gospel and Cultures; and Editor of the International Review of Mission. 1 The title is influenced by recent discussions on the mission-shaped church in the Church of England.
