EDITORIAL “For though you have countless guides in Christ, you do not have many fathers. For I became your father in Christ Jesus through the gospel.” 1 Corinthians 4:15 By Revd Canon Terry Wong n my editorial piece for the December 2012 issue of the Diocesan Digest, I had reflected on the passing of the baton from Bishop John IChew to Bishop Rennis Ponniah: Reflecting on the years under the ministry of Bishop John Chew, I can vividly recall how I visited some friends with him in Edinburgh. One of them was Revd Canon Titus Chung, who was finishing his doctorate in the cold of Edinburgh. He was terribly homesick. We actually arrived on his birthday. The company, dinner and pieces of bak kwa brought some comfort and ‘home’ to him. I could see then the importance of this bishop’s visit. While there was neither ceremony, staff nor crook, this visit was at the heart of a bishop’s work. He was our “father- in-God”. This phrase sounds divine, familial, earthly and homey all at once. I recall with fondness how I felt about the changing of guards eight years ago. Little could I guess that this homesick doctoral student who was So we bid farewell to Bishop Rennis Ponniah paying a heavy price in the cold of Edinburgh will even as we welcome Bishop Titus Chung. He and I one day also assume the responsibility of being have spent years serving as colleagues, including our next father-in-God. a five-year stint together at the Cathedral. Now that he has stepped into office, this “father-in-God” I had gone on to say: role will be accentuated for me, as it will be for all of us. Undoubtedly, Jesus Christ is the Shepherd of the Church. And this is precisely the reason why all who “Keep him in our prayers” is our usual refrain. follow Him will invariably be most Christ-like when And indeed, we must.

  • Don't Leave the Cake Unturned
    EDITORIAL The problem is that it looks so good, but only from one side. One of the current USA presidential candidates has trumped Don’t Leave Norman as his mentor. I reproduce here a quote from an article I read recently: The Cake Unturned “Christianity is a religion of losers.

To anyone I recall preaching on Hosea 7:8 almost 20 years ago. who does not win at life, it promises that whoever loses his life for Christ’s sake shall find it. At its center stands a truth that we are prone to forget. There are people who cannot be “Ephraim is a cake not turned.” made into winners, no matter how positive their thinking.

  • Collaboration, Christian Mission and Contextualisation: the Overseas Missionary Fellowship in West Malaysia from 1952 to 1977
    Collaboration, Christian Mission and Contextualisation: The Overseas Missionary Fellowship in West Malaysia from 1952 to 1977 Allen MCCLYMONT A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of Kingston University for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History. Submitted June 2021 ABSTRACT The rise of communism in China began a chain of events which eventually led to the largest influx of Protestant missionaries into Malaya and Singapore in their history. During the Malayan Emergency (1948-1960), a key part of the British Government’s strategy to defeat communist insurgents was the relocation of more than 580,000 predominantly Chinese rural migrants into what became known as the ‘New Villages’. This thesis examines the response of the Overseas Missionary Fellowship (OMF), as a representative of the Protestant missionary enterprise, to an invitation from the Government to serve in the New Villages. It focuses on the period between their arrival in 1952 and 1977, when the majority of missionaries had left the country, and assesses how successful the OMF was in fulfilling its own expectation and those of the Government that invited them. It concludes that in seeking to fulfil Government expectation, residential missionaries were an influential presence, a presence which contributed to the ongoing viability of the New Villages after their establishment and beyond Independence. It challenges the portrayal of Protestant missionaries as cultural imperialists as an outdated paradigm with which to assess their role. By living in the New Villages under the same restrictions as everyone else, missionaries unconsciously became conduits of Western culture and ideas. At the same time, through learning local languages and supporting indigenous agency, they encouraged New Village inhabitants to adapt to Malaysian society, while also retaining their Chinese identity.
