We
are currently living through one of the transforming moments in the history of
Christianity worldwide. The past five centuries or so told us the story of
Christianity, bound up with that of Europe and non-European derived
civilizations overseas, above all in N.America. But over the past century, the
center of gravity in the Christian world has shifted southwards and today the
largest Christian communities on the planet are to be found in Asia, Africa,
and Latin America. Thus a new face of Christianity has emerged. This
presentation attempts to ascertain Africa as a new face of Christianity.
Disability and Christianity
Disabled people are
found in all most all areas of our life. One may find them in shops, stations,
galleries, and other common normal platforms. Often they are not given so
attention but our looks or talking about them are presumably scornful. Some
other people even act and look as if they are regretful about the person’s
present condition. Somehow, it’s a forgotten part in every human mind to discover
the life of other individuals which they consider menial than themselves. It is
necessary to delve into this part of society and understand more than merely
common presumptions which will be of no benefit for advancement of a society.
This paper within a limited scope of space and time attempts to explore the
theme of person with disability and theological understanding.
OLD TESTAMENT AND ENVIRONMENT
Humans and environment has an intrinsic connection from the
very beginning. The Hebrew scripture beautifully portrays this connection by
appropriately attaching the theological aspect to it. This paper in brief
discusses about Old Testament and Environment.
