Description
Summary:The irreversible flow of migrants across the globe is making an impact on the shape of the church of the future. What does it mean to be church among peoples of difference who are struggling to find their place in one space? This chapter attempts to draw an itinerary of the Asian church in migration. It describes some features of the contemporary Asian migration landscape and identifies the migrant ministries highlighted in the Episcopal statements. It then situates Asian churches within four general models of church response to migration and focuses on how their ministries can adopt a more intercultural approach.
