TWELVE / THIRTEEN Two Stories & Conclusion 3 WHY A CHRISTIAN PURPOSE OF UNIVERSITY EDUCATION IN AUSTRALIA Australian Christian Churches has a vision to see Alphacrucis College (AC) transition to become the first Pentecostal Many writers on the purpose of education have expanded on Mortimer Adler’s “the Paideia program” that education University in Australia. has a threefold purpose: Since 1948 the College has been training men and women for effective Christian ministry. This continues to be a strong • the development of citizenship; emphasis of AC and is being enhanced by the college offering education and training for the broader marketplace. AC’s • personal growth or self-improvement; mission is to equip Christian leaders to influence all spheres of society, including business, education, politics, media, • occupational preparation. 1 and arts and entertainment. This is reflected in the College’s growing array of vocational and higher education awards. The vision to transition from college to university is primarily based on the rationale that universities exert powerful In essence, education is a social good that contributes to the development of the whole person and to the influence influence on culture and society and that a distinctively Christian university would contribute to the church’s mission to of that person on society. A key part of the educational process is the “socialising” of the student to a set of social influence all spheres of society. It would offer a quality alternative for students seeking an education that incorporates norms that reflect the explicit and implicit values of the educator and of the educational institution. Australian Christian worldview and values. universities typically endorse secular humanism and are ambivalent or antagonistic towards the incorporation of Christian faith in curriculum and university life. One consequence of this is that many students from church This paper seeks to elaborate on the rationale for a Pentecostal university in Australia. backgrounds repress or abandon their faith upon entering university and students from other or non-faith based backgrounds are not exposed to Christian principles and values. These students deserve the opportunity to choose a university education that incorporates the development of citizenship, personal growth, and occupational preparation with Christian worldview and values. A Pentecostal University would be firmly rooted in the Christian tradition and would seek to incorporate the philosophical and moral assumptions of that tradition into the design and development of its curriculum, learning environment, and intentional community. It would be committed to “Christian intellectual engagement” 2 with scholarship and with other faith traditions. It would base its approach to education on the understanding that faith in Christ stimulates believers to study God’s created universe and inspires them to seek to enable others to achieve their full potential as God’s creation. Students would not be required to be Christians. The image of God is found in each individual, even if they have not yet encountered God in Jesus Christ. All students would be provided the opportunity to encounter Christ in a learning environment committed to the integration of faith and scholarship. 1 Adler, M.J. (1998).

  • Africa Networks and Connections in the Context of Botswana
    206 CROSSING BOUNDARIES: PENTECOSTAL ASIA – AFRICA NETWORKS AND CONNECTIONS IN THE CONTEXT OF BOTSWANA Fidelis Nkomazana ABSTRACT ______________________________________________________________________________ This article examines the extent to which Pentecostalism has become a religion without borders. This is supported by the migratory or transnational nature and practice of the Southern African religions in general. The article however focuses on the networks, connections and relationships that develop between Pentecostals in Asia and Africa in the context of Botswana or generally outside their national boundaries. To do this I provide some case studies from my anthropological field research on the establishment and growth of two churches, the Korean Church in Botswana, with roots of origin in South Korea, and the Kingdom City Church in Botswana, with connections and historical origins traceable to Malaysia. The article also examines the networks that have resulted from the formation and growth of these churches. The result and conclusion of the discussion is that Pentecostalism has become a religion without borders or frontiers. It has spread and established networks and connections beyond its borders, as is typical in the case of Botswana, Malaysia and South Korea. ______________________________________________________________________________ Introduction The article deals with the transporting of Pentecostalism between continents, regions and national borders of diverse cultural and ethnic backgrounds. In his book entitled, “Global Pentecostal Networks and the Problems of Culture: The Church of Pentecost in Ghana and Abroad”, Girish Daswani (2012) observed that Pentecostalism has become a force to be reckoned with continentally, regionally and nationally. He goes on to mention that Thomas Csordas (2007) calls this a “transposable message of salvation” and “portable practices” that include prayer, speaking in tongues and prophecy.

  • Christian Expansionism in Southeast Asia
    ISSUE: 2019 No. 96 ISSN 2335-6677 RESEARCHERS AT ISEAS – YUSOF ISHAK INSTITUTE ANALYSE CURRENT EVENTS Singapore |20 November 2019 Christian Expansionism in Southeast Asia Terence Chong and Evelyn Tan* EXECUTIVE SUMMARY • Some Christian churches in Southeast Asia are expanding by establishing overseas branches in other parts of the region and beyond. They do so not only to spread the Gospel but also to overcome perceived demographic limits to Christian growth in their countries. • Most of these churches are Pentecostal and independent in character. Their overseas branches retain the name of the original church as well as adopt its liturgy, worship style, culture, and aesthetics. • Another key driver of expansionism is the strong association of spiritual growth with financial and congregational growth. Many of these churches strive for greater expansion and tangible growth because they believe it wins favour and blessings from God. • These overseas Pentecostal branches may prioritise religious identities over cultural and ethnic identity. They discourage the reconciling of theological teachings with folk practices. Some pastors have also called on congregations to define themselves by their Christian identity instead of their ethnic or cultural identity. • They are also heightening competition for converts with local churches. Not only do overseas branches reach out to new converts, they are also actively seeking out Christians who may not be completely fulfilled at their current church. * Terence Chong and Evelyn Tan are Deputy Director and Research Officer at the ISEAS – Yusof Ishak Institute, respectively. The findings in this paper are from a research project funded by the Ministry of Education’s Social Science Research Thematic Grant.
