  • Using Transnational Advocacy Networks to Challenge Restrictions on Religion: Christian Minorities in Malaysia and India
    Using Transnational Advocacy Networks to Challenge Restrictions on Religion: Christian Minorities in Malaysia and India A dissertation submitted to the Graduate School of the University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Political Science of the College of Arts and Sciences by Kristina M. Teater M.A. Wright State University B.A. Milligan College July 2019 Committee Chair: Laura Dudley Jenkins, Ph.D. ii Abstract State-imposed restrictions on religious freedom challenge the rights of minorities. While some minorities live in authoritarian regimes, others live in countries with religious rights institutionalized in national constitutions and international human rights treaties. Despite these guarantees, minorities face restrictions on religion through laws and regulations that restrict what religion they choose and limit how they practice their faith. Thus minorities that in theory are supposed to have religious freedom also encounter religious freedom restrictions in practice. Faced with blockages that restrict their religious rights, minorities at times turn to transnational advocacy networks (TANs). Through my analysis of Christian minorities in Malaysia and India, I discover what some of these blockages are and how minorities and their transnational partners have negotiated with the state in recent legal challenges to Christians’ rights. I focus on the agency and strategies of minorities by listening to their opinions, arguments, and reasoning, as articulated through interviews, legal documents, and an original survey. In doing so, this study differs from recent scholarship that traces the structure and organization of TANs. I find that how Christian minorities use transnational advocacy networks is dependent on the political opportunities that are available to them domestically.

Abstract Since the late 20th century information technology has changed the lives of individuals and relationships at local, nation and even global levels. In particular the internet is used by many religious groups for theological and spiritual purposes. Some parts of Christianity have confronted the issue of how to deal with the use of internet. As a result, an internet church has emerged, offering Eucharistic services online across the globe. Even though the numbers of internet churches/Eucharistic groups have sharply increased in the last two decades, the attitude of the established churches does not appear to have taken account of this change yet. To achieve this it is necessary for such initiatives to be guided by certain theological norms or church regulations. This may relate to the definition of church, Eucharistic theology, or how to deal with emerging cultures.

  • SWANSONG Malaysia by Philip and Charlotte Swan Jan 4Th—17Th 2016
    Report from visit to the Dioceses of Kuching and West SWANSONG Malaysia by Philip and Charlotte Swan Jan 4th—17th 2016 Archbishop Elect Moon Hing (West Malaysia) is to take over from Archbishop Bolly Lapok (Kuching). We are so thankful for their support, hospitality and inspiration and pray for them in their changing ministries. We are delighted that it looks as though we will be able to re-establish links with Sabah Diocese through their new Bishop, Melter Tais, which means we will be relating to each of the four Dioceses, including Singapore, which together make up the Province of S.E.Asia. I stumbled across a prophetic question in the first volume of the History of the Church Missionary Society, taken from an 1820 Report of a CMS Association. ‘Might not those Islands one day inquire in their Missionary Meetings how the British Church may be revived?’ ‘Those islands’ included the Malay Archipelago, Sri Lanka and the West Indies which were referred to as the ‘Insular Missions’. Today we are certainly realising that the answer to this question is a resounding YES as we see ‘Reverse Mission’ taking place. It has been a great privilege to experience the growth of the church in Kuching and West Malaysia during this two week visit, and to be challenged and inspired by the attention given to discipleship in particular. Revd Dr Albert Walters has been seconded by the Diocese of West Malaysia to the Church of Bangladesh where he is the Principal of St. Andrew’s Theological College, Dhaka. Muslims make up 90% of the population and Christians 0.3%.
