Ecumenical Enablers' TrainingA total of 78 participants completed the Ecumenical Enablers' Training program conducted by CCA-FMU executive staff recently. Of this number 44 were Vietnamese and 34 were Nepalese. Although CCA does not have a church member yet in Vietnam the EET held in Vietnam was made possible with the help of Vietnamese alumni from a Thai seminary. The EET training in Ho Chi Minh City held on 26-28 April 2011 was the first CCA-organized EET in Vietnam. The EET held in Lalitpur, Kathmandu, Nepal on 23-27 May 2011 was the second to be held in cooperation with the National Council of Churches in Nepal, a member of CCA, led by Dr. KB Rokaya, NCCN General Secretary and a member of the CCA presidium. The first one was held in April 2009. Vietnamese and Nepalese participants came mostly from Independent churches. They included self-made pastors with limited theological training, youth and women, students in mission training centers. In the two countries, traditional denominations are not common although denominationalism has now entered the countries. The theme of the training in both countries was "Living Together in the Household of God" with the idea that wider ecumenism regards the whole universe as the household of God. [See August edition of CCA News for more of this story.] posted by hope on Monday, May 30, 2011 Basic Ecumenical Course begins in IndonesiaCCA-FMU co-organized with the Communion of Churches in Indonesia (PGI) a two-week Basic Ecumenical Course on 2-15 May 2011 in Kaliurang, Yogyakarta, Indonesia. The theme of the BEC was the CCA General Assembly theme, "Called to Prophesy, Reconcile and Heal." This was the first time for PGI to hold this ecumenical formation program and CCA-FMU staff hopes that it will become a regular program of the council. CCA organizes the annual Asian Ecumenical Course with its four components of Asian reality, ecumenical vision, community building and leadership development. But holding the program at the regional level can only gather a small group of people. Holding the Basic Ecumenical Course at the national level can reach out to more people -- and can also be conducted in the national language of the participants. However, to keep the international flavor of the program, seven participants were invited from other countries: 3 from Malaysia and 4 from Timor Leste. posted by hope on Friday, May 20, 2011 |
