The globalization of the world brings together different groups
into common space and produces a twofold dialectic, the dialectic
of differentiation in which we are made increasingly aware of
differences in nationality, culture, religion, ethnicity, gender,
class, and language, and the dialectic of interdependence in which
we are compelled to find a way of living together despite our
differences. The central challenge of the globalizing world is how
to manage and transform this twofold, antithetical dialectic of
simultaneous differentiation and interdependence into a solidarity
of others. The task of contemporary Christian theology is to
interpret this demand of the new kairos in light of its biblical
and theological tradition and provide a conceptually coherent,
systematic mediation between the context of globalization and the
demand of its inherited faith. The Christian tradition provides
abundant resources worth retrieving for this theological purpose:
the example of the historical Jesus in his solidarity with the
marginalized others of society, his crucifixion and resurrection as
signs of his solidarity in suffering and hope, the triune God as a
communion of three persons in their difference, the incarnation as
solidarity of the human and divine in their radical difference.
Using the paradigm of 'solidarity of others' as the central theme
of theology, it is possible and appropriate to renew the doctrine
of the Holy Spirit as the Spirit of solidarity and recapture the
inspiring and illuminating potential of the classical,
authentically Christian metaphor of the 'body of Christ' as
embodiment of this solidarity.
