Abstract
"One way to attempt such a communication moves through the negativities of human existence. It is surely less difficult to come to a common appreciation of what is wrong with human society than an agreement of what to do about it. A positive program relies on so many different cultural values and methods of approach that to adopt one requires negotiation and compromise all around. With that basic paradigm in mind, this essay will follow a simple structure. It begins with a list familiar to all parties because it assembles the topics of theology that have occupied us over the past decades. All parties do not appreciate these problems in the same way; some problems so dominate a region that they virtually crowd out the others. But these problems affect us all. The second part reflects on how to go about dealing with these issues. Readers from different cultures should recognize how culturally specific this essay is and be encouraged to bring their own insights to the conversation. In the third part, I propose three qualities of the theology that we need today if we are to work ensemble, in communication with each other."
