Download or read book Mission from Conversion to Conversation written by Ambrose John Bwangatto and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The main argument in this work is that there must be a new mission model for the Church in Uganda in the 21st century. This mission model identified as Conversation helps to discover, disclose and unveil God's initiative and help turn human existence into human coexistence. The conversation suggested here as a usable tool in Christian mission is based on the philosophical concept that was developed by Richard Rorty in his book "Philosophy and the Mirror of Nature". In a world in which people go their own way, mission as conversation meets them at crossroads where they discover the grace of becoming co-travelers on the way to the truth. Thus truth in its fullness is an eschatological pursuit (cf. 1Cor. 13:12).
Download or read book Mission Dialog und Friedliche Koexistenz Mission Dialogue and Peaceful Co Existence written by Andrea König and published by Peter Lang. This book was released on 2010 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dieser Sonderband beinhaltet die Vorträge von 26 Theologinnen und Theologen aus 12 verschiedenen Ländern, die sich zu einer einwöchigen Internationalen Sommerschule an der Universität Regensburg versammelten, um darüber nachzudenken, wie sich Mission und friedliche Koexistenz miteinander vereinbaren lassen. Eine zu beobachtende Zunahme nationalistischer und fundamentalistischer Strömungen in vielen asiatischen Ländern, in denen Christen weitgehend Minderheiten darstellen, aber auch einige Entwicklungen in Deutschland, wie Säkularisierung und Migrantenbewegung, zeigen die Dringlichkeit der Auseinandersetzung mit dieser Thematik. Die Beiträge dieses Bandes reflektieren Themengebiete wie Bildung, Ökumene und Historie. Teilnehmer und Autoren sind überwiegend Schüler und Schülerinnen des Regensburger Systematikers Hans Schwarz, dessen Arbeitsgebiete sich in den einzelnen Themengebieten widerspiegeln. The special volume in the series Glaube und Denken contains papers presented by 26 theologians from 12 different countries. The authors convened at the university of Regensburg for a week-long International Summer School. They pondered how mission and peaceful co-existence can be achieved under newly emerging conditions. They observed a rise of nationalistic and fundamentalist currents in many Asian countries in which Christians are often a minority. Furthermore, developments in Germany, such as secularization and the increasing number of believers of other religions through the influx of immigrants, show the urgency to reflect on this new situation. The collected papers touch topics such as education, ecumenism, and history. Most of the participants are students of the Regensburg systematic theologian Hans Schwarz whose special fields of interest are mirrored in these topics.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout the last two decades, the modern dialogue movement has gained worldwide significance. The knowledge about its origins is, however, still very limited. This book presents a wide range of insights from eleven case studies into the early history of several important international interreligious/interfaith dialogue organizations that have shaped the modern development of interreligious dialogue from the late nineteenth century up to the present. Based on new archival research, they describe, on the one hand, how these actors put their ideals into practice and, on the other, how they faced many challenges as pioneers in the establishment of new interreligious/interfaith organizational structures. This book concludes with a comparison of those case studies, bringing to light new and broader historico-sociological understanding of the beginnings of international and multi-religious interreligious/interfaith dialogue organizations over more than one century.

Book excerpt: If you have been struggling to understand the dialogue that has been taking place among various faiths and religious groups for more than two decades, this is the book that you need. What you may find complex to comprehend is made simple for you to digest. This book is most compelling and the reader would find it hard to discard it once he started reading it . The main points of the book dealt with the challenge to mission and dialogue in a pluralist context.

Another important point addressed in this book is: "Is dialogue in mission an instrument of Christian witness? The conclusion is that dialogue is necessary as we live in a multi-faith and multi-cultural society and should be explored for better understanding and mutual respect with other faiths in a pluralistic society.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The growing pluralization of religion and culture in Europe means that we encounter an increasing number of Buddhist immigrants as well as ‘Western’ converts. Against this background, in June 2018, the Academy of World Religions and the Numata Center for Buddhist Studies at the University of Hamburg (Germany), invited scholars of Theravāda, East Asian and Tibetan Buddhism. The questions discussed referred to: - Does Buddhism matter today? What can it contribute? - Must Buddhism adapt to the modern world? How can Buddhism adapt to a non-Asia context? - When Buddhism travels, what must be preserved if Buddhism is to remain Buddhism? The contributions in this volume show not only that Buddhism matters in the West but that it already has its strong impact on our societies. Therefore, universities in Europe should include Buddhist theories and techniques in their curricula.
