Migration has become a defining feature of the contemporary age. It
has brought about significant changes in political, economic,
social, and religious landscapes. This volume explores a question
that has been little considered to date: how are churches being
transformed in the face of global migration? The book features
contributors from diverse national, denominational, cultural,
professional, and linguistic backgrounds. Their essays reveal the
ways in which migrants and the phenomenon of migration expose
longstanding gaps and failings within Christian communities.
However, the prevalence of migration and migrants simultaneously
opens up fresh possibilities for churches to grow, renew, becoming
more authentic, dynamic, and diverse. Church in an Age of Global
Migration presents a collage of embodied ecclesial practices,
understandings, and realities that have emerged and are continuing
to develop in the face of global migration. Committed to
transnational and ecumenical dialogue, and to integrating practical
and theoretical perspectives, this volume is the first to offer an
in-depth analysis of the ways in which churches are being changed
by migrants.
This anthology hopes to contribute, in particular, to the analysis
of the mutually constitutive interaction of the use of cyberspace
and Asian cultures, with particular attention to ethical, feminist,
and religious perspectives especially within Catholic Christianity.
