Abstract

The call for new and bold approaches to evangelization and
missiology has been a perennial challenge and concern of the Asian
bishops and theologians, more so for the local Churches inserted in
the web of everyday relationship amongst the marginalized and
believers of the different cultures and religions. Whatever the new
approaches, the Church must be manifesting the sacred power of
God’s Spirit in the perennial mission of proclaiming the sustainability
of life with dignity and justice in the human and earth communities
that is free from corrupt and violent practices because all beings, all
lives and all persons are created sacred in the sight of God.
