  • Dialogical Intersections of Tamil and Chinese Ethnic Identity in the Catholic Church of Peninsular Malaysia
    ASIATIC, VOLUME 13, NUMBER 2, DECEMBER 2019 Dialogical Intersections of Tamil and Chinese Ethnic Identity in the Catholic Church of Peninsular Malaysia Shanthini Pillai,1 National University of Malaysia (UKM) Pauline Pooi Yin Leong,2 Sunway University Malaysia Melissa Shamini Perry,3 National University of Malaysia (UKM) Angeline Wong Wei Wei,4 Universiti Tunku Abdul Rahman (UTAR), Malaysia Abstract The contemporary Malaysian Catholic church bears witness to the many bridges that connect ecclesial and ethnic spaces, as liturgical practices and cultural materiality of the Malaysian Catholic community often reflect the dialogic interactions between ethnic diversity and the core of traditional Roman Catholic practices. This essay presents key ethnographic data gathered from fieldwork conducted at selected churches in peninsular Malaysia as part of a research project that aimed to investigate transcultural adaptation in the intersections between Roman Catholic culture and ethnic Chinese and Tamil cultural elements. The discussion presents details of data gathered from churches that were part of the sample and especially reveal how ceremonial practices and material culture in many of these Malaysian Catholic churches revealed a high level of adaptation of ethnic identity and that these in turn are indicative of dialogue and mutual exchange between the repertoire of ethnic cultural customs and Roman Catholic religious practices. Keywords Malaysian Catholic Church, transcultural adaptation, heteroglossic Catholicism, dialogism, ethnic diversity, diaspora 1 Shanthini Pillai (Ph.D.) is Associate Professor at the Faculty of Social Sciences and Humanities, National University of Malaysia (UKM). She held Research Fellowships at the University of Queensland, Australia and the Asia Research Institute, Singapore, and has published widely in the areas of her expertise.

  • Introduction at Last, We Arrive at the Final Teaching Part in Our Series
    PAUL M. WILLIAMS [23/12/16] IS ROMAN CATHOLICISM TRUE CHRISTIANITY? – PART 12 THE ECUMENICAL AGENDA Introduction At last, we arrive at the final teaching part in our series looking at the Roman Catholic Church. The fundamental question running throughout this teaching series, the very title of this series has been ‘Is Roman Catholicism True Christianity?’ We began this teaching series by asking a question; ‘are the differences that separate Protestants, Catholics just minor matters of insignificance?’ In the first part of this teaching series we pointed out that if one was to do a Google search to identify the world’s largest religion, one would find that at the top of the list would be Christianity, representing some 2.2 billion people (more than 30% of the world’s population!!). The natural question that arises when being met by such figures is; what type of Christians!! When one looks at the breakdown of these figures, one finds that according to the figures from Pew Research, approximately, 50% of the 2.2 billion Christians are in fact Roman Catholic, with just fewer than 37% comprising of Protestants. Sadly, for many today, the only difference separating these two main Christian groups is one of history and tradition. Indeed, a call goes forth in our day in ever increasing sound, for these Christian groups to unite, after all they will say, don’t we all agree on the fundamentals of the faith!! Sadly, many within Evangelical circles, influential leaders and ministers are regurgitating the same erroneous sentiments!! For those familiar with Church history, for more than a thousand years, Roman Catholicism dominated Western Christianity with its popery and tradition.

    THE CATHOLIC MIRROR Vol. 52, No. 12 December 21, 2018 Bishops of Congratulations, Father Ryan Andrew Iowa voice Des Moines native was ordained a priest on Dec. 14 concerns about gun laws By Kelly Mescher Collins Staff Writer In the wake of legisla- tion being introduced in the state, the Iowa Catholic Conference, is voicing concerns. A proposed state Consti- tutional amendment, House Joint Resolution 2009, would subject restrictions on the right of the people to keep and bear arms to “strict scrutiny.” The Iowa Catholic Con- ference opposes the bill because it would make regulating any fire- arms difficult. It could also put current state law regarding back- ground checks and permitting at risk, said Tom Chapman, execu- tive director of the Iowa Catholic Conference. In a December letter to legislators and the general public, signed by the four bishops of Iowa – Archbishop Michael Jackels of the Archdiocese of Dubuque; Bishop Richard Pates of the Di- ocese of Des Moines; Bishop Thomas Zinkula of the Diocese of Davenport; and Bishop Walker Nickless of the Diocese of Sioux Photo by Ken Seeber City – they expressed their con- cerns. “We believe that weap- ons increasingly capable of in- flicting great suffering in a short period of time are simply too accessible,” the letter said. “The right to bear arms as found in our Constitution must be balanced against the safety and well-being of the populace as a whole.

To achieve this, a new work was started with the intention of reaching non-Christians, bringing them into community and discipleship, developing them as leaders and empowering and releasing them to form new missional communities. Special attention was made on spiritual formation, community life together and a transformative leadership process of developing leaders who replicate themselves. The context of Singapore is one in which Christianity has enjoyed great success. Singapore churches generally embrace a missiological theology but this outlook is being eroded as churches grow and are becoming institutionalized.
