The author explores the concept of sustainable peace which she
regards as a major aspiration of the modernecumenical movement in
the post World War 2 period. Many who promote official ecumenism
consider justice and freedom as two of the constitutive elements of
sustainable peace and a condition for human existence. As part of
this discussion she views the tension between voluntarily chosen
evangelical poverty and forced poverty that arise in ecumenical
discussions as a major challenge to sustainable peace in the 21st
century. She introduces the concept of informal ecumenism as the
religious culture born out of the immigrants' struggle to hold a
balance between their religious identity and the secular identity
of the nations in which they live.The characteristics that emerge
out of the worship life of the immigrants are depicted as the
spirit of informal ecumenism that can contribute to the renewal of
Protestant ecumenism. She treats the Asian Diaspora communities as
examples, and traces both the ambiguities and promises of immigrant
life, and shows how their longing for sustainable peace contributes
to their eventual evolution as "pilgrims of peace."
