Reflection on Global Dreams
We are living in a new age of
globalization. In this new age, changes do not follow what have been imagined
and are so drastic thus becomes unpredictable.
Towards a Civilization of Poverty
The bad fruit of dehumanization comes from human being’s
sinfulness, which is realized throughout history as oppression and exploitation
of the powerless and, in the modern world of globalization, in the widening gap
between rich and poor, environmental depletion and degradation.
Rebirth of Hope
The causes of our modern world’s
problems such as hunger, slums, high infant mortality, illiteracy, high
unemployment, and low wages were considered as the result of structural forms
of exploitation and oppression.

Meaning
of the Lord's Supper
A definition of sacraments by
Augustine is 'visible signs of an invisible grace'. The Bible does not provide a definition of a sacrament. In the
New Testament, the Greek word mysterion later translated in the Latin by
sacramentum.
The
Lord's Supper and Christian Mission
The church's mission is in
continuity with the mission of the
historical Jesus of Nazareth.
The synoptic gospels depict the whole appearance and history of Jesus in
the light of his messianic mission.
Luke 4:18f. sums up his mission ...
A
New Creed
Christianity's relevance to the
world without losing its identity is
closely relate to our confession of God.
God is the event of agape and
this event of God is revealed in coming of Jesus.
