La lucha de las mujeres indígenas por la identidad en Asia y otros lugares

Las contribuciones a la sociedad y la comunidad realizadas por las mujeres indígenas en Asia con frecuencia pasan desapercibidas y no son reconocidas debido a la continua marginación y discriminación en la región y más allá. Los participantes de un taller celebrado el 2 de septiembre en la 11ª Asamblea del Consejo Mundial de Iglesias (CMI) fueron informados de que, aunque la igualdad de género cobra lentamente impulso a escala mundial, las mujeres indígenas siguen luchando por sus derechos: en primer lugar como mujeres y en segundo lugar como indígenas.

Promoting human dignity through art

“Affirming justice and human dignity”  was the theme of the fourth thematic plenary of the World Council of Churches(WCC) 11th assembly on 6 September. The presentation featured a wheelchair dance performance by Fadi El Halabi, a wheelchair user and Ms. Karen Abi Nader, an international artist. In the freestyle dance, Halabi effortlessly spinned around his wheelchair and,  with slow coordinated moves together with his dance partner, threw hands in the air symbolizing the joy that can only be felt when all exclusionary and disempowerment practices in church and society are addressed.

A Hundred Years of Mission Cooperation

The Impact of the International Missionary Council 1921-2021

With its sister volume, this book is a must for anyone, academic, pastor, or mission practitioner, interested in knowing how Christianity was considerably expanded in the 20th century, through churches’ mission and missionary work, and was transformed into World (or Global) Christianity.

The book is divided into two parts. The first part contains the introduction—background reading for the reports of the study process produced by the IMC Centenary Study process. The second part of the book includes 13 regional reports. Contributions from all over the world analyse and evaluate the impact—or the absence thereof—of the IMC and the CWME from 1921 until today.
