Church Partnerships in Asia: A Singapore Conversation

2010-10-27T15:01:00.004+08:00

CSCA Christianity in Southeast Asia Series, No. 3
Church Partnerships in Asia: A Singapore Conversation (Singapore: Genesis Books, 2010)

Edited by Michael Nai Chiu Poon

This collection of essays introduces readers to what is important to the character and forms of church partnership at the beginning of the twenty-first century, as viewed by major Asian Protestant church leaders. The essays are based on the papers presented in a conference on ‘Cooperation and Partnership in the Mission of Church in the 21st Century’ held in Singapore in 2009.

The Singapore conversation took place amid huge volatility in the first decade of the new millennium: the 9/11 attacks, SARS outbreak, Indian Ocean tsunami, the Nargis cyclone, Mumbai terrorist attack, the H1N1 pandemic, and the still evolving global financial crisis. Perhaps for the first time since 1945, Asian churches can no longer rely on their Western counterparts to provide intellectual leadership and material support. This book offers a missiological reading on the fresh directions that Asian churches take amid radical social and ecclesial reconfigurations in the globalising age.

CSCA Christianity in Southeast Asia Series

Series editor: Michael Nai-Chiu Poon

(Published by Armour Publishing and Trinity Theological College, Singapore)

The CSCA Christianity in Southeast Asia Series consists of commissioned studies on present-day Christianity in Southeast Asia; specifically in Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia. Contributors to this Series are mainly drawn from those in senior Christian leadership in the region. The papers presented here have often benefited from discussion in the regional conferences organised by the Centre for the Study of Christianity in Asia.

This Series aims to encourage much-needed theological reflections by local Christian practitioners on their own mission experiences. The past few decades has witnessed two significant shifts that have impacted how world Christianity is interpreted. First, social sciences now provide the fundamental categories for understanding religious worlds. Philosophical and theological disciplines are often dismissed as ideologically motivated and so no longer occupy the central role they once assumed. Secondly, world Christianity is now studied by academics who may have little first-hand cross-cultural and missionary experience; and even with no Christian conviction. This represents a significant change from the time when career missionaries were the chief exponents of world Christianity. Stephen Neill, John V. Taylor, Max Warren and Andrew Walls were perhaps among the last missionaries in the post World War II era from the old school. Missiological studies so runs the risk of becoming increasingly theoretical and academic, with little understanding of ground realities. World Christianity is often described and explained in concepts that may be alien to the Christian community. To be sure, these newer forms of scholarship have enriched and challenged our understanding of present-day Christianity. However, Christians cannot abdicate their own theological task in striving for an account of their own faith and mission tasks in Christian terms. This we owe to the faithful and to the wider communities we serve.

This Series hopes to introduce what Southeast Asian Christians think to the wider audience, in the hope that this would contribute towards a more rigorous account of world Christianity.

The Anglican News Index (1961-1970)

2009-02-09T18:11:00.002+08:00

The Anglican News (星马教声）was launched in 1961 as a monthly news magazine of the Chinese Board of the Diocese of Singapore and Malaya (圣公会星马教区华文工作委员会). Until the separation of the Diocese into the Diocese of Singapore and the Diocese of West Malaysia in 1970,The Anglican News was published in Singapore, in traditional Chinese script, with Rev. Canon Lau Teik On as editor. The Anglican News is an important source in understanding Chinese-speaking Anglican work in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore in the early years of the nation building in Singapore and Malaysia. Those years also corresponded to the Cultural Revolution in China. Articles written under the pen-name of Changqing (常青) and Le'ru (乐如) were contributions from China.

Chung Hua Sheng Kung Hui Sheng Gong Index (1955-1957)

2008-04-11T15:07:00.004+08:00

The Chung Hua Sheng Kung Hui ("Chinese Anglican") official publication The Chinese Churchmen (圣公会报) ceased publication after the political changes in China in 1949. On 2 January 1955 Chinese Churchmen (圣工).literally meaning "sacred work", was launched. It appeared more or less a quarterly magazine until the end of 1957, the eve of the "Great Leap Forward" in China.

This publication is not widely known nor available in public, however. Copies still survive in the China East (Huadong) Seminary in Shanghai, and in the Shanghai Municipal Library. It offers important insight on the life and work of the Chinese Anglicans in the beginnings of the post-denominational period in Chinese Christianity.

We are grateful to Miss Li Cuixiang for compiling the index. The (unofficial) English translation is provided by Michael Poon.

Sheng Gong (圣工）Index (1955-1957)

The Chinese nation and churches underwent radical changes from the end of the Pacific War in 1945 to the Korean War in the early 1950s. Tian Feng offers an important source in understanding what Christians in China thought and did in that tumultuous period.

In Memoriam: The Reverend Carl Thurman Smith (1918-2008)

2008-04-09T20:31:00.009+08:00

The Reverend Carl Thurman Smith, missionary and historian, died in Macao on 7 April 2008. Funeral service is to be held on Thursday 10 April 2008.

The directions from Mei Foo MTR to his apartment were precise, as fitting for a historian. So Carl Smith welcomed me to his sanctuary eight years ago and unfolded to me horizons of Christian charity and ardent scholarship. His flat at Mei Foo was in truth a sanctuary, lined wall-to-wall and floor to ceiling with tomes of history and meticulously filed notes that silently witnessed to over forty years of devotion to the histories of South China, Macao and Hong Kong. The lunch with pan-fried fillet prepared by Dolly at that first visit celebrated the beginning of our friendship. Our common interest in Macao and Sheng Kung Hui’s history provided the occasion for many happy conversations in the following years. Carl would later unreservedly guide me to the worlds of archival studies and historiograhies. In God’s providence, Macao – the City of God, and Morrison Chapel – God’s acre in the Far East – would be the final stop of his earthly pilgrimage. Carl Smith is an exemplary gentleman, scholar, missionary and friend. With a pure and single heart he devoted himself to what God has entrusted him: towards preserving the histories of his adopted homes in the Far East.

He generously gave and enriched us all, for much he has received from God.

Good things and bad, life and death,
Poverty and wealth, come from the Lord.
The gift of the Lord endures for those who are godly,
And what he approves will have lasting success.
. . . .
Stand by our task and attend to it,
And grow old in your work. (Ecclesiasticus 11:14, 20)

May God grant his faithful servant eternal rest.

Carl Smith's favorite hymn: Jesus, I live to Thee, the loveliest and best

The Global South Anglican: its origins and development

2008-03-11T13:32:00.006+08:00

This essay by Michael Poon examines the origins and development of “Global South Anglican”, and explores its ramifications for the Anglican Communion. The exploration sets its emergence in the context of internal ecclesiastical conflicts within the Episcopal Church and the Church of England. Disaffected clerics were instrumental in introducing “global South” geopolitics into the Communion debates. The essay calls into question the perceptions of churches in the South by Western interpreters, Philip Jenkins included. It ends by setting out the responsibilities facing Anglican churches in the Southern Hemisphere if they were to chart independently their own long-term welfare.

Southern Bell Index (1963-2000)

2008-01-31T15:00:00.000+08:00

The Southern Bell (南钟), published in traditional Chinese script, chronicles what (ethnic) Chinese Methodists think and do in Malaysia (which before 1965, included Singapore). It is the official magazine issued by the Methodist Church in the region. The publisher underwent several name changes, according to the restructuring of the churches in the 1960s to 1970s in Southeast Asia. Southern Bell was published in the early 1960s by the Methodist Church, Southeast Asia (东南亚中华基督教卫理公会). From 1965 (Volume32 issue 1, it came under the Methodist Church, Malaysia (马来西亚中华基督教卫理公会). By the fourth issue of the same year, it came under the Methodist Church, Malaysia & Singapore (马来西亚及新加坡中华基督教卫理公会). From 1969 (Volume 36 issue 2), the Chinese name was again changed to 马来西亚及新加坡基督教自治卫理公会, (literally translated, "the self-governing Methodist Church, Malaysia and Singapore", while dropping the "Chinese (zhonghua)" reference. From 1977 (Volume 44), the Methodist Church, Chinese Annual Conference, Malaysia (马来西亚基督教卫理公会华人年议会) took ownership of the magazine. See Index

Attempts in Producing Chinese-English Bilingual Book of Common Prayer from the 1960s to the 1980s

See The Order for Holy Communion produced by the Diocese of Hong Kong and Macao in 1965 (http://www.ttc.edu.sg/csca/skh/bcp/hc1965.pdf) , and the more substantial effort The Book of Common Prayer (1976, 1983) by the Council of Church in East Asia. This later work, led by Bishop James Pong (Pang Deming) of Taiwan, was a serious attempt in integrating Chinese cultural heritage in the Prayer Book (http://www.ttc.edu.sg/csca/skh/bcp/dongyaben.pdf). It was regretably not adopted for general use after its release.

Guo Feng's Daily Office and Pastor's Handbook

2007-05-03T10:08:00.000+08:00

Guo Feng's compilation and translation of liturgical material represents a singular attempt by a present-day ordained Protestant pastor in Shanghai in connecting his Christian life with the liturgical traditions of the universal church. Guo Feng makes use of surviving liturgical books in China and prayer books (mainly Anglican) from outside of China in compiling two works: the Daily Office (meiri songdao [lit. Daily Praise and Prayer]); and the Pastor's Handbook (shizhu liangyou [lit. A Good Friend for Those serving the Lord]. In so doing, Guo in fact inherits the tasks in prayer-book translation that first begun in the early nineteenth century. He stands immediately in continuity with the work of Bishop Shen Yifan that came to a halt in the time of drastic changes from the 1950s to the end of the 1970s. Guo's translation of key phrases in the liturgy are important in shaping theological concepts in the present-day Chinese Church.

I am grateful to the Rev. Guo Feng for making these two significant works available to the wider church.

Huang Yangying, trans. Jitan Qian [=Before the Altar], with Foreword by Basil Roberts, Bishop of Singapore, 1938

2007-04-11T10:01:00.000+08:00

See Jitan Qian.

This short devotional manual Before the Altar, written by Robert Wilson, was translated into Chinese by Rev. Huang Yangying in 1938 at Christ Church, Malacca. Bishop Basil Robert commendation of this work in his Foreword was revealing of the ethos and priorities in the Diocese of Singapore in the time shortly before the Pacific War. First, the handbook is meant to be part of the wider effort in translating "standard works of theology and devotion in the languages of the 'younger Churches'. Second, the handbook offers "the right approach to [the] solemn and precious mysteries" for Christian people.
