  • Theological Education and Participation in Global Mission
    Theological Education and Participation in Global Mission Israel Selvanayagam An Affirmation Let me start with a basic affirmation: whatever may be the side effects the primary purpose of theological education is creative and relevant participation in mission in all its dimensions. I am tempted to revise the starting lines of St Paul’s famous poem on love (1 Cor. 13). Accordingly, I may read and speak classical languages, but if I do not have a passionate commitment to mission, I am a sounding gong or a clanging cymbal. I may have the gift of textual analysis and hermeneutics and the knowledge of every philosophical truth; I may have more than one postgraduate degree in Theology; but if I have no inner urge to share the love of God in Christ with others, I am nothing. I may give all I possess to the needy, I may give my body to be burnt in struggles for justice and liberation, but if I have no regard for the salvation of the whole humanity and creation, I gain nothing by it. If this revision sends any clear signals, then we need to revise traditional understandings of theology and theological education. I don’t claim like Thomas Aquinas that ‘Theology is taught by God, teaches of God, and leads to God’. Theology is human talk or reasoning about God: not in the sense of ‘search after reality’ but that of ‘response to the historic reality of revelation’. Nor can I accept Anselm’s definition of theology as ‘faith seeking understanding’, because our two millennia of ‘seeking’ in this regard have not led us to a more clear understanding.

  • Wesleyan Resources for a Contemporary Theology of the Poor?
    WESLEYAN RESOURCES FOR A CONTEMPORARY THEOLOGY OF THE POOR? RANDY L. M ADDOX Recent years have witnessed epochal and unforeseeable changes in the politi- cal situation of the Northern hemisphere- the reunification of Germany, the collapse of the Soviet Union, the fracturing of former Soviet satellites, and broad-scale rejection of nationalist communism. It is sometimes S'llggested that these changes totally discredit what has come to be ca lled Liberation Theology. But while they do raise serious questions about some of the specific solutions proposed by certain liberation theologians, they have hardly eliminated the problems that spawned liberation theology in the first place. Indeed , there appears to be a widening gap at present between rich and poor in several nations, between developed (or overdeveloped! ) nations and the developing nations, and between the culturally elite and the culturally marginalized. For those of us in the Wesleyan theological traditions this situation sounds strangely reminiscent of the social context within which the original Methodist revival arose. Thus, there is good reason for asking whether there are resources in our tradition for relating the Good News of God's salvific love to this critical dimension of our current situation.' Other studies have focused attention on some of the characteristic Wesleyan convictions and practices that are very rele- vant to this issue. 2 The topic that I want to direct attention to deals not with such "content" of a Wesleyan theology, but with its method. As liberation theologies found their voices among the world's poor and mar- ginalized, their early questions often focused on specific doctrinal claims of the dominant Christian theological traditions.

    1 FAITH CONFESSION OF ST. THOMAS THE APOSTLE St. Thomas Syro-Malabar Catholic Diocese of Chicago The faith confession of St. Thomas the Apostle, “My Lord and My God”, stands in history as the most profound confession on Jesus’ true identity. ‘Lord’ and ‘God’ are the equivalent words for the Greek terms ‘Kyrios’ and ‘Theos’ respectively used to denote the Hebrew words ‘Yahweh’ and ‘Elohim’, two expressions used to address the Almighty One. Making use of these words to the Resurrected Lord, Thomas equates Jesus to the Absolute Deity. He connects the Old Testament and New Testament St. Thomas Syro-Malabar understanding of God in the person of Jesus Christ. Catholic Diocese of Chicago St. Thomas Syro-Malabar Catholic Diocese of Chicago, by living My Lord and My God and experiencing the faith confession of her patron through the celebration of her liturgy, aims at the deepening of the identity and heritage of Syro- Malabar Church in the United States of America.

  • 2010 Edinburgh
    Edinburgh 1910 – origin of the global ecumenical movement • 1200 delegates from 150 mission societies and churches, only 17 representatives from socalled „mission fields“ • Sense of urgency for world evangelization „the evangelization of the world in this generation“(John R. Mott and J.H. Oldham) • Protestant and anglosachson dominance, absence of roman-catholic and orthodox representatives • 8 sections dealing with world mission priorities for the 20th century; focus on ecumenical unity for common world mission (section 8) • Appointment of continuation committee which led to the launching of IRM (1912) and the formation of IMC in Lake Mohonk, NY (1921) • Subsequent formation of Faith and Order Movement (1927 in Lausanne) and Universal Christian conference on Life and World (1925) Edinburgh 1910 – emergence of a common concern for christian education • Edinburgh 1910 as the culmination of the optimistic spirit of the great missionary enterprise of 19th century Christianity in the North-Atlantic. The assumption being that a goal like „evangelization of this world in one generation“ could be a common, feasible and practical short- term aim and „Christian forces“ around would be enough to be assembled for that purpose. It also was the still unchallenged assumption that countries in the East and the South had to gradually adapt and be upgraded to the systems of civilization, Christianization and education which were developed in the „Christian west“ (two different messages!) • New attention to the importance of education: Key concept of „moral

  • Relevant and Effective Theological Education in the Twenty First Century India
    RELEVANT AND EFFECTIVE THEOLOGICAL EDUCATION IN THE TWENTY FIRST CENTURY INDIA . JOSHVA RAJA INTRODUCTION Theological education becomes relevant when theologians start interacting with, and challenging the ongoing ministiy in the world. In order to identify its effectiveness in twenty first century India, a broader discussion on its purpose, content and praxis should be initiated. In India there are more than 60 regional and national seminaries that are affiliated with the Senate of Serampore College. Recently we have held many discussions at the regional and national level on the content, form, method and praxis of theological education in India (2001-2002), As part of this ongoing discussion by the Asian theologians, I was asked to present a paper on this topic in the General Council of the United Theological College, Bangalore on 25th August 200 I. In this paper I made an attempt to highlight a number of issues in the pre- sent praxis of theological education in India and proposed a new system of interac- tive learning that might address some of the associated problems. The United Theological College offers integrated theological training with a high academic standard and at the same time provides programmes of study, devotional life and practical experience for men and women to prepare themselves for the different ministries to which they are called. The mission statement of the United Theological College affirms that the College "seeks to provide students with conceptual tools, spiritual discipline and practical skills which will equip them for a relevant ministry in the church and in society, responding critically to the religio- cultural heritage and socio-political-economic reality of India" 1 The purpose of 'theological education' is to equip men and women for the diverse ministries to which they are called.

  • EAN ME Template
    1 2 3 My dear friends, It is a joy for me to connect with you through this letter. It is an opportunity to strengthen our relationship and review our ministry. Our Lord who called us all to work in His vineyard is always true, enabling us to see His promise being fulfilled in our lives. By His immense grace we have completed nine months in this year, and are entering into the tenth month. The Lord Jehovah is the Alpha and Omega; He is the beginning and the end. He is the God of the past, the present and also the future. He is the Lord of all ages. So let us fix our eyes on Him, hold His strong hand, and keep running our race on this earth with faith and perseverance. To quote Warren Wiersbe, ‘the future is our friend when Jesus is our Lord’. Here is some spiritual insight from the Bible to apply in our lives this month in particular. Let’s focus on King Solomon, based on II Chronicles 7:11-22. Once the Lord appeared to King Solomon in the night and told him that always His ears would be opened to the prayers of the people, and His eyes and heart would be always there to forgive their sins and bless them. He expressed only one condition – that is, the king and his people should walk before the Lord, faithfully obey all His commandments and observe His laws. After that, King Solomon followed everything according to God’s law. This pleased God and He blessed him more and more.

  • MR S Pindler RECENT INDIAN STUDIES of the GOSPEL of JOHN
    M. R. Spindler RECENT INDIAN STUDIES OF THE GOSPEL OF JOHN : PUZZLING CONTEXTUALISATION The Gospel of John has been very popular in India in recent times and it is still the most distributed portion of the Bible. It has been studied by many Indian scholars who felt special affinities with the style and spirituality of the Fourth Gospel. The popularity of this Gospel can be traced down to the influence of one of the greatest Indian theologians in the 20th century, namely Dr. A.J. Appasamy (1891-1975), who wrote his Oxford doctorate thesis on The Mysticism of the Fourth GospeZ in its Reflation to Hindu Bhakti Lite- rature (1922, unpublished), and later toured all over India with his lectures collected in his influential books Christianity as Bhakti Marga: A Study of the Johannine Doctrzne of Love (CLS, Madras 1928) and What is Moksa ? A Study in the Joharm2ne Doctrine of Life (CLS, Madras 1931). Furthermore the interest in the Fourth Gospel has been greatly stimulated by the expectation of western theologians, such as B.F. Westcott, who expressed the hope that the most profound commentary on the Gospel of John would be written by an Indian theologians The reason for this very special affinity between India and the Gospel of John was the alleged common pattern of spirituality or my- sticism, but this has become problematic, and the relevance of the Gospel of John to Indian spirituality or better to Indian reality is no longer taken for granted; indeed it may be interpreted in very unexpected ways, as we shall see below.

  • 'Jesus Christ
    ·Jesus Christ-The Life of the World: An Indian Christian Understanding . 0. V. JATHANNA* I· It is not the first time that a WCC Assembly has chosen a christo­ logical theme. Evanston (1954), New Delhi (1961), and Nairobi (1975) all had christological themes. This may also be said about Uppsala (1968), though to a lesser degree. The theme that lies before the coming Assembly in Vancouver next year is also strongly christo­ logical. It indeed· appears to. be even more substantially christolo- . gical than any other so far. Evanston considered Christ especially from the eschatological perspective, and the New ·Delhi theme, theologically speaking, laid emphasis on the revelatory aspects of Christology. Nairobi thought of Chris~ primarily in relation -to human liberation at various levels, and the unity of mankind. The Uppsala theme, like that of Evanston, was also primarily eschato­ logical. The present theme, however, is wider than all these, and is capable of bringing together creation, redemption and consumma­ tion in a holistic manner. For in the New Testament, while both life and light are closely held together, life, that is Life Divine, precedes light. 1 This is also true of human life: without the gift of life, there can be no human activity--,intellectual, volitional 'or emotional. In fact one can even go so far as to say that this theme is one way of looking at. the whole of Christian theology from a .rele~ vant point of view in the modern world. This way of looking at the Christian faith can also be most fruitful in the Indian context today.
