Assuming All That Is Asian: Becoming a Truly Local Church in Dialogue

Abstract

Ruben C. Mendoza attempts to show how the theological principle of the incarnation lies at the heart of and informs the FABC’s vision of the local Church. It is expressed in the FABC’s theological methodology, the triple-dialogue approach to mission, mission of service, and emphasis on the building up of local Churches. For the FABC, the Church of Asia, in becoming truly local, is called to assume all that is truly Asian.
