Ackerman © 2002 Asia-Pacific Nazarene Theological Seminary Ortigas Ave. Ext., Kaytikling, Taytay, 1920 Rizal, Philippines Cover Design by Scott Griffiths, Brisbane, Australia. In the design, the hand is reaching out in compassion and love, while at the same time holding up the Asia-Pacific region in support. The heart captures the thrust of the Wesleyan- Holiness message of holiness.

First, Korea Nazarene University hosted the conference and gener- ously provided room and board for the participants. In addition, this publication has been made possible by a generous grant from the university. Second, the Department of Education for the Asia-Pacific Regional Office made available both financial assistance and administrative leadership in making this conference possible. Third, the International Board of Education (IBOE) provided a generous grant to assist developing theologians from many countries to attend this conference–something that would be impossible for them to attend without this gift. vii Introduction The papers presented at 2001 Asia-Pacific Region Theology Confer- ence wrestled with the theme of the “Challenge of Culture.” Many modern thinkers recognize that the church is in the midst of a transition. Examples of this transition are myriad, but closer to home, the Church of the Nazarene is now known as the International Church of the Nazarene with international headquarters located in Kansas City, Missouri, U.S.A. More- over, the majority of the members of this denomination now live outside of the U.S.A. and Canada. This transition poses significant challenges in polity, organization, and at times, even articulation of doctrine. The growth of information during the 20th century has left little of life untouched, and theological study is no exception. Theology has made major advancements (or declines, as some might say), from Barth to Bultmann, from Schweitzer to Moltmann, or closer to home, from Wiley to Grider. Some of the greatest minds of church history lived in the last century. Most of these advancements in theology have served the church well, laying the groundwork for the present growth of the church. One factor that is becoming more apparent, especially through ease of travel and the proliferation of access to the Internet, is that the world is becoming smaller. At the same time, the world of theology is expanding beyond old borders. Earned doctorates in all areas of theological studies and practical ministry are proliferating. Yet, the church and the church’s theology are no longer confined to or dominated by North America or Europe. Old paradigms are shifting and at times even being replaced by newer perspec- tives. The question we are confronted with in the midst of this transition is, Can the Gospel and church speak with one voice in an age of relativism and pluralism? Can the church articulate the Gospel in such a way that it neither distorts the message nor finds itself irrelevant to the new world? Jesus came preaching the Kingdom of God (Mark 1:15). He prayed, “Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven” (Matt 6:9-10). Where is this Kingdom and how is it made manifest in the 21st century? Jesus taught that the ix x Introduction Kingdom of God is separate from the kingdoms of people (John 18:36). The Gospel transcends culture just as the Kingdom transcends human institutions. But can we see the Kingdom? The Kingdom is like a seed that grows secretly night and day and soon ripens for the harvest (Mark 4:26- 29). Like a mustard seed, the Kingdom began small but is growing until someday it will be the largest of all garden plants (Mark 4:30-32). The Kingdom is like yeast that slowly but surely penetrates the whole lump of dough (Matt 13:33). The Gospel is assuredly penetrating all cultures and language groups in an unprecedented advancement of the Kingdom. In Jesus’ teaching, the Kingdom was a gift to be received (Luke 18:16-17) but also a treasure to be sought after (Matt 6:33). God’s prevenient grace has prepared the way, but is the church ready to seek after the latent Kingdom? The Apostle Paul made a profound statement when he wrote to the Corinthians, “I have become all things to all men so that by all possible means I might save some” (1 Cor 9:22). This is a statement of relevancy. Paul recognized that for him to bring the Gospel effectively to the cities of the Roman Empire, he had to know his context. He had to adjust

    Transportation history of the Philippines This article describes the various forms of transportation in the Philippines. Despite the physical barriers that can hamper overall transport development in the country, the Philippines has found ways to create and integrate an extensive transportation system that connects the over 7,000 islands that surround the archipelago, and it has shown that through the Filipinos' ingenuity and creativity, they have created several transport forms that are unique to the country.

  • In Cainta, Rizal
    Proceedings of the 24th Annual Conference of the Transportation Science Society of the Philippines Assessment of Mobility of Persons with Disabilities (PWDs) in Cainta, Rizal Justine Brylle PAJARIN a, Conrad Matthew SORIANO b Jose Regin REGIDOR c a,b,c Institute of Civil Engineering, University of the Philippines Diliman, Quezon City, Philippines a E-mail: [email protected] b E-mail: [email protected] c E-mail: [email protected] Abstract: This study aims to address the problems on the mobility of PWDs. Set in Cainta as the location, it involves both qualitative (survey questionnaires for PWD and non-PWD, as respondents) and quantitative assessment (pedestrian facilities and public transportation vehicles). The researchers determined from these methods that the respondents gave more importance to safety than the other factors affecting mobility. Common problems encountered in using transportation vehicles and facilities were also enumerated. Results show that the transportation facilities and vehicles are poorly designed for PWDs. PWDs have limited choices on their use of transportation vehicles and facilities and have experienced difficulties in boarding and alighting vehicles. There are many obstructions on transportation facilities, especially on sidewalks, that impede seamlessness of their travel from one point to another. The researchers gave recommendations on the designs and layouts of transportation vehicles and facilities in order to improve mobility of PWDs in the municipality. Keywords: Mobility, PWDs, Transportation Facilities, Transportation Vehicles, Urban Setting 1. INTRODUCTION In a country with rapidly increasing population like the Philippines, transportation plays a major role in the development of the society. Whenever transport systems are designed, persons with disabilities (PWDs) are often neglected.

  • In Air Quality Noted As Motor Vehicle Use Lessened by Jonathan L
    STRATEGIC BANNER COMMUNICATION UPPER PAGE 1 EDITORIAL CARTOON STORY STORY INITIATIVES PAGE LOWER SERVICE April 13, 2020 PAGE 1/ DATE TITLE : ‘Huge improvements’ in air quality noted as motor vehicle use lessened By Jonathan L. Mayuga -April 13, 2020 Air quality in Metro Manila continues to improve amid the ongoing implementation of the enhanced community quarantine in Luzon, which limited the movement of motor vehicles since March 17, the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) noted. Based on the DENR’s latest Air Quality Monitoring Data released, the air breathed in the National Capital Region (NCR) is much safer today than a month ago, or before the entire country was ordered placed under a State of Public Health Emergency due the coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) pandemic. This was attributed by the DENR-NCR air quality monitoring to the fact that public transportation was suspended immediately, while the movement of private vehicles was also drastically cut down. Much of the air pollution in urban areas is carbon monoxide or half-burned smoke emitted by motor vehicles, which is being monitored by quality monitoring stations put up in strategic areas in the NCR. The Marikina City Hall Air Quality Monitoring Station noted that air pollution in the city decreased in daily particulate matter, or PM-10 concentration from 13 percent to 72 percent, with an average of 43 percent from March 15 to April 10. In Parañaque City, Don Bosco Barangay Hall Air Quality Monitoring Station reported the decrease in daily PM-10 concentration ranges from 4 percent to 54 percent or an average of 22.6 percent.
