Lausanne World Pulse – Asia Theological Association
By Brian Wintle
The theme is “The Prophetic Voice of the Gospel in Contemporary Asia” and the sub-themes and proposed speakers will be:
- Globalization and Its Effects in the Asian Context (Ben Pwee, Singapore)
- Theological Education in the Context of Persecution (David Wang, Hong Kong)
- Shifting Paradigms in Theological Education (Vinay Samuel, India)
- Theological Education for the Marketplace—Desirable Options (Quek Swee Hwa, Singapore)
- Social and Environmental Concerns in Theological Education (Joseph Suico, Philippines)
- The role of Christians in the task of nation-building in a context of religious plurality (Rev. Wong Kim Kong, Malaysia)
The ATA is committed to theological education and ministerial training that is evangelical and biblical in theology and relevant to the context. The membership of the association is scattered all across Asia, in countries that are throbbing with life, and varied in context. It is in this light that the theme and sub-themes can be seen as very relevant and contemporary.
