Asian Ecumenical Course 2011The Asian Ecumenical Course 2011 will open on Tuesday, 30 August, at Payap University in Chiang Mai, Thailand. The two-week course will end on 9 September. The AEC theme, "Living Out Our Prophetic Faith for Such a Time as This", draws from the 13th CCA General Assembly theme, "Called to Prophesy, Reconcile and Heal." AEC is CCA's annual ecumenical formation program for second-line leaders of churches and NCCs covering the components of Asian reality, ecumenical vision, community building and leadership training. The objectives are: (1) to equip younger ecumenical leaders in Asia thorugh basic ecumenical formation with a wider ecumenical vision, living in community, tools of analysis of Asian reality and leadership skills; and (2) to hone the leadership skills of younger ecumenical generation for the ministry of prophesying, reconciling and healing in Asia. Presentations will be on ecumenical memory, ecumenical vision, ecumenical challenges - interfaith dialogue & cooperation, conflict transformation and peace building, gender justice, HIV/AIDS, and ecological justice. The batch of 22 participants who come from 11 countries in Asia are expected to arrive in Chiang Mai starting on Sunday, 28 August. AEC dean is the CCA General Secretary, Rev. Dr. Henriette Hutabarat Lebang. Organizing staff are Dr. Hope S. Antone, CCA-FMU Joint executive secretary, and Ms. Sivaporn "Nook" Srisuppuris, administrative assistant. posted by hope on Saturday, August 27, 2011 More on the Aotearoa New Zealand visits and lecturesPart of the reason for the visits to churches in Aotearoa New Zealand was for CCA-FMU executive secretary Hope S. Antone to give a seminar on Asian Ecumenical Theology to a group of Presbyterian ministry interns of the Knox Centre for Ministry and Leadership. She conducted the seminar with them at Grafton Hall in Auckland on 7 July. Another part of the reason was for her to make a solidarity visit to Christchurch on 8-10 July, where she was hosted by Garth and Elizabeth Cant. This visit included meeting with the Church World Service staff led by Pauline McKay. On 9 July she listened to an ecumenical panel on the topic, “After the earthquake, churches working together.” After listening to the panelists (Katrina Hill of CWS, Bob Anderson of St. Ambrose Church, Bob Turnbull of Baptist Church, and Michael Earle of Anglican Church), she was invited to make a response. Using the framework of the four shifts towards the wider ecumenical vision, she tried to weave the learning points shared by the panellists:
