Heads up for stuff going on this week..
CSCA Annual Lecture Series 2007 Church and Mission in the New Asia: New Gods, New Identities
Date: 10-12 Oct (wed-fri)
Time: 8pm
Venue: MPH Level 1, Trinity Theological College
Many parts of Asia are being rapidly transformed by new technologies, unequal wealth creation and the emergence of religious radicalism. Individual lives and whole societies are being re-configured around new gods and identities. What does following Jesus as Lord mean in such changing contexts? If Christian witness is to be truly Christian, and not a bearer of false gods, our pragmatism and activism need to be shaped by prophetic discernment and godly wisdom
Talk 1: The Postcolonial: Unlearning Colonial Mission
Talk 2: The Postmodern: Shopping for Identities
Talk 3: The Posthuman: Technology as Salvation
Speaker: Dr Vinoth Ramachandra, the secretary for dialogue and social engagement for IFES. He has written several books: Gods that fail: modern idolatry and Christian mission (1996), Faiths in conflict?: Christian integrity in a multicultural world (1999) and The message of mission: the glory of Christ in all time and space (2003)
