This study aims to respond to two of the major challenges which
congregations face namely postmodernity and globalization. After
seeking a fuller description of these two challenges, I sought a
theological orientation within the context of the postmodern global
village, as well as an ecclesiological praxis that could be both
transformative and redemptive. The narrative orientation guides the
story of this study. The climax of this journey (or story) is in
the fusion between the theory-laden questions of descriptive
theology and the historical texts of the Christian faith within the
narrative orientation. This study discovered that truly
transformative and redemptive praxis is only possible within
language communities (or narrative communities). These narrative
communities do not exist in isolation, but are continuously
confronted by the stories of other communities in the global
village. These language communities therefore need to be open to
the fragmentation and pluralism of the global village, otherwise
they will not be able to respond to the reality of globalization
and postmodernity.
