Continuation Committee sets CATS V theme"Sharing Hope for a New World" is the theme of the Fifth Congress of Asian Theologians (CATS V) which is set for July 2006. This was the consensus of the CATS V Continuation Committee which met in Tainan Theological College and Seminary in Tainan, Taiwan on Jan. 13-14, following the theological roundtable meeting. The theme is a call to affirm and re-affirm "the hope that we have" in the midst of so much ruin, destruction and devastation experienced by peoples in Asia brought about by serious poverty and injustice, violence, the negative impact of globalization, war on terrorism, and most recently, the tsunami disaster that caused the loss of lives and property as well as much trauma for the surviving people. The theme also affirms that hope for a new world or a new future is something that Asian communities of faith do share and that other communities that are not based on faith can also be communities of hope, thus, sharing hope with them can take the form of solidarity and joint action. The committee also expressed gratitude for the offer of Rev. Dr. Lo Lung Kwong to host CATS V at the Divinity School of Chung in the Chinese University of Hong Kong, Shatin, New Territories, Hong Kong. More details of the plan for CATS V will be shared later. Present at the meeting were Kang Namsoon and Soosai Arokiasamy, co-moderators; Yangrae Son, treasurer; Hope Antone, secretary; Samuel Ngun Ling, Wati Longchar, Sientje Merentek-Abram, and Hannah Chen. Arche Ligo was co-opted to join the meeting for one day. posted by hope on Saturday, February 05, 2005 |
