CCA-FMU organizes AMCU V with FABCAs delegated by the CCA General Secretary, the CCA-FMU staff once again co-organized with counterparts from the Federation of Asian Bishops' Conferences Office of Ecumenical and Interreligious Affairs (FABC-OEIA) the fifth gathering of the Asian Movement for Christian Unity. A group of 29 participants gathered at the FABC Documentation Center in the St. Louis Hospital compound on 1-5 December 2010 for the gathering which focused on the theme, “One in the apostles’ teaching, fellowship, breaking of bread and prayer” (cf. Acts 2:42). This theme is the theme of the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity in 2011. The participants came by organization: 12 from CCA, 12 from FABC, 4 from Asia Evangelical Alliance, and 1 from the Asia Pentecostal Society. This was the second time for the AEA to be present at the AMCU gathering and the first time for APS, courtesy of the Global Christian Forum. [For more details, see the December 2010 edition of CCA News.] posted by hope on Thursday, December 16, 2010 THE ASIAN MOVEMENT FOR CHRISTIAN UNITY - V2 to 4 DECEMBER 2010 – BANGKOK A Joint Statement The fifth gathering of the Asian Movement for Christian Unity (AMCU V) was held from 2 to 4 December 2010 at the Federation of Asian Bishops’ Conferences (FABC) Documentation Center at the St Louis Hospital compound in Bangkok, Thailand. Twenty-nine (29) participants, representing the Christian Conference of Asia (CCA), the Federation of Asian Bishops’ Conferences (FABC), the Asia Evangelical Alliance (AEA), and the Asian Pentecostal Society (APS) took part. Earlier AMCU gatherings (Hong Kong, 1996; Bali, 1998; Chiang Mai, 2001; Kuala Lumpur, 2007) were jointly sponsored and organized by the CCA and FABC. The participation by representatives of AEA started in AMCU IV and now in AMCU V the Asia Pentecostal Society was invited as the result of a suggestion from the Asian gathering of the Global Christian Forum in Seoul, Korea, on 12-16 November 2010. The theme of AMCU V was: “One in the apostles’ teaching, fellowship, breaking of bread and prayer” (cf. Acts 2:42). This is the theme for the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity in 2011. In the sharing of our faith journeys with Christ we discovered the work of the Holy Spirit among us. Throughout these days, there were presentations and fruitful and open discussions on the topics, “One in the Apostles’ Teaching”, “One in the Gift and Task of Fellowship in Christ”, and “One in the Breaking of Bread and Prayer”. Specific issues dealing with challenges to our fellowship in Christ were also discussed in the course of the event. These issues were those such as conflict transformation, interfaith relations and cooperation, human dignity, and care for creation. There had been trustful sharing on what measures might be taken in response to these realities. In the light of our experience at this gathering, the participants call upon the component bodies (CCA, FABC, AEA and APS) to:
