Longchar, A. Wati,‏ ‎ 1958-‏2019-09-252019-09-252014-06-0220121682-6086http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12424/207713The church in Asia is predominantly a church of indigenous people. To be a minority Christian in the context of a religiously pluralistic context involves many sacrifices – loss of job, denial of rights, persecution and so on. Being minority, first, we have faced the reality of being excluded (as a reaction to our exclusive understanding of mission), discriminated against, and marginalized from society, in some places even threatened with death. But second, by struggling as a minority, the Christian churches in Asia have also found an opportunity to use their dynamics and creativity to make a contribution to their people and society. Professor Wati Longchar’s work, entitled, Returning to Mother Earth: Theology, Christian Witness and Theological Education, is an attempt to make the Christian theology, Christian witness and ecumenical theological and ministerial formation programme rooted in the cultural setting of the indigenous people’s context.Pages: 315engWith permission of the license/copyright holdertheological educationIntercultural and contextual theologiesIndigenous theologiesBook
