Faith and Caring in the Global Village is about pastoral care and
Christian spirituality in the age of an ever-shrinking,
interdependent world. It is a call to action that delves into the
current argument about the necessity for the Church to embrace the
mission-based paradigm in the ecclesial communities that are eager
to have their say in the way the good news is communicated to them
and to others. It speaks especially to the historical denominations
that are still reluctant to do away with deep-seated traditions and
social/racial status. Listening to the current tone of the debate,
one would think that only scientists and politicians are
responsible for the problems humans face and, therefore, they and
they alone have the moral obligation and capacity to propose
solutions for the resulting challenges, and lay out a set of plans
to deliver us from annihilation. Although they have an important
role to play, the exemplary conduct of many of Christ's followers
and the results of the teaching in many Christian communities
points in a different direction, the Church. In the final analysis,
the appropriate response to the call for relevancy leads to the
understanding and acceptance of diversity in people, culture, and
in practice; and to unity in purpose.
