Lay People in the Asian Church

Beschreibung

This book investigates the role of the laity in the Asian Church. It concludes that, for the Federation of Asian Bishops' Conferences, John Paul II, and the Vietnamese Episcopal Conference, lay people have three responsibilities: proclaiming the Gospel, witness of life, and the triple dialogue with the cultures, the religions, and the poor.
This book investigates the role of the laity in the Asian Church. Lay people have three responsibilities: proclaiming the Gospel, be a witness of life, and the triple dialogue with the cultures, the religions, and the poor. Focusing on the triple dialogue, the bishops of Asia have offered fresh ideas to address three global trends in society: the revolution in communications technologies which blurs the cultures; the conflicts between followers of different religions; and the advance of globalisation which leaves in its aftermath the poverty of the masses.
