  1. COVID-19 Shows the Need to Make Church More Flexible.Jerry Pillay - 2020 - Transformation: An International Journal of Holistic Mission Studies 37 (4):266-275.
    The COVID-19 challenge is unprecedented. It has caused enormous trauma, disrupted economies, social life, mass transportation, work and employment, supply chains, leisure, sport, international relations, academic programmes; literally everything. Churches and religious communities have not been spared; they have been severely affected and, in all likelihood, permanently transformed by the pandemic. The pre-COVID-19 world is gone, replaced by a ‘new normal’. The new landscape calls for both resilience and adaptation, embracing new ways of doing things and of being church. Churches (...)

  • North-South Partnership in God’s Mission: Joining Hands in the Construction of a Reconciliation Politics.Ruth Padilla DeBorst - 2022 - Transformation: An International Journal of Holistic Mission Studies 39 (4):254-262.
    This paper asks if there any hope today, in the midst of the pulls and tugs of current globalizing and counter-globalizing forces, of differing theological outlooks and intestine tensions, that the world Church can constitute a politics of reconciliation instead of one characterized by polarized confrontation. Employing the metaphor of “hands,” it proposes some needed steps towards the realization of that hope. Hands can join in reconciliation when they are open in confession and emptied of the manipulation of money, when (...)

  • Africanisation of theological education: An exploration of a hybrid epistemology.Kasebwe T. L. Kabongo - 2020 - HTS Theological Studies 76 (4):1-8.
    This article explores the concept of hybrid epistemology in relation with the author's theological teaching of his neighbours from the northern townships of Pretoria and the students of the University of Pretoria. It is written from the perspective of a black African mission practitioner who values with equal footing the diverse ways human beings can acquire knowledge. He longs to see a symbiotic relationship between different epistemologies and be prioritised in the theological training of Africans. He stresses that the value (...)

  • Ecological Challenges and Injustice from a Missiological Perspective.Ji Young Jung - 2021 - Transformation: An International Journal of Holistic Mission Studies 38 (4):279-295.
    Coupled with ecological challenges, injustice such as unfair resource distribution and exploitation over nature and the poor has been disproportionately inflicted upon the powerless. As we look at the nexus of ecological challenges and injustice, we find establishing social sustainability like redressing the issues of injustice is closely linked with attaining environmental sustainability. This paper attempts to look into the nexus of ecological challenges and injustice from a missiological perspective. In a missiological paradigm, a biblical concept of justice for the (...)

  • Church, mission and ethics. Being church with integrity.Wim Dreyer - 2016 - HTS Theological Studies 72 (1):01-08.
    This article is an exercise in Practical Ecclesiology. The author reflects on church, mission and ethics from historical, hermeneutical and strategic perspectives. Using the ecclesiology of Karl Barth as a point of departure, the author argues that the church needs to be church if it wants to be a credible witness to the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Integrity is essential if a church wants to be missional. Integrity means the church has to become what it already is, the body of (...)

  • Narrativity as a Locus Hermeneuticus for Ecumenical Theology: Culture, Koinonia and Transformation.Pavol Bargár - 2018 - Transformation: An International Journal of Holistic Mission Studies 35 (1):30-43.
    This article argues that narrativity has the potential to be a key hermeneutical concept in ecumenical theology. Instead of pursuing a complex elaboration of the notion, it will seek to explore various aspects of narrativity. The thesis will be explicated in three major steps, consecutively discussing culture as the general setting of narrativity, explicating narrativity as a concept that can helpfully address some of the major issues in ecumenical theology and proposing transformation as the ultimate horizon of the faith and (...)

  • An evaluation of three intercultural community projects.Johannes Ries & H. Jurgens Hendriks - 2013 - HTS Theological Studies 69 (2):1-9.
    An intercultural framework for servanthood was explored in three Christian community projects. The framework consists of six basic principles, as defined by Duane Elmer, namely openness, acceptance, trust, learning, understanding and serving. This framework is brought into conversation with Miroslav Volf's metaphor of an embrace. In all of this koinonia and diaconia play a pivotal role - especially in the relationship between the two modi. With this hermeneutical framework as point of departure, an empirical study was undertaken to discern the (...)
