Subject: A Dissenting Church Author: Liberal [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 21:03:19 06/01/04 Tue Introducing a new book: A Dissenting Church by Rose Wu At its heart, A Dissenting Church highlights the tensions between an institutional Church seeking survival and a prophetic Church confronting society's injustices. A series of articles about Hong Kong's political and socio-economic concerns, particularly the 1997 handover, clearly define these two very different Churches. This prophetic stance is also evident in the book's advocacy for women's rights as it addresses the discriminatory experiences of women, especially survivors of sexual violence, sex workers and other people marginalised in society, such as sexual minorities. Instead of being condemned and excluded, Wu calls for the Church and society to repair these broken relationships with justice and love. The author extends her thoughts beyond Hong Kong to the exploitation of globalisation, the inhumanity of human rights violations, the violence of the "war on terrorism" and the need for ecumenical partnership and interfaith cooperation to respond to today's life-denying realities. http://www.hkci.org.hk/index_e.htm [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]
