Proclaiming the Gospel in a Pluralistic World"We live in a plural or diverse world. What is threatening the world is not because we have different religions, languages, cultures, etc. but because we have used our differences to lord over, eat up, or subjugate the other. It is high time we re-visit the original intention of God for creating the world." This is the gist of one ecumenical lecture, in the form of a Bible study, which I presented at the Silliman University Divinity School (SUDS) in Dumaguete City, Philippines during the 44th Annual Church Workers' Convocation on 30 August-1 September 2005. My second ecumenical lecture was "Dialogue of Life as Our Way of Proclaiming the Gospel." These two lectures were among the inputs at the convocation on the over-all theme, Proclaiming the Gospel in a Pluralistic World Towards a Dialogue of Life. An annual program of the SUDS, the convocation gathers around 400 alumni, church workers and leaders for update and sharing. The opening message was given by Joel L. Bodegon, a local lay preacher of the United Church of Christ in the Philippines who pointed out that we have not yet reached but are still aiming for a pluralist world - a way to real living together - towards ecumenism. Bishop Erme R. Camba, a former General Secretary of the UCCP and former dean of SUDS, gave the theme presentation which emphasized the full witness of proclaiming the gospel - providing healing to the sick, food to the hungry, enlightenment to those in darkness, liberty to the captive and oppressed, and love, justice and peace for all, without any discrimination based on religion, ethnicity, gender or age. posted by hope on Monday, October 03, 2005 |
