A piece by Billy Zorinthara receives the Walls-Bediako Memorial Award. Published open access w/ Mizo abstract!
A rich & provocative argument for harmonious & creation-centric Christianity from the lens of Mizo primal cosmology, especially persuasive in the age of climate change.
📢Particularly pleased this issue includes the first #OpenAccess Walls-Bediako Memorial Article:
Billy J Zorinthara, “Spirit in Creation: Mizo Primal Cosmology and Its Implications for Anthropogenic Climate Change Concern”
📝Note the abstract is in Mizo! euppublishing.com/doi/abs/10…

An honor to moderate this generative #YaleEdin2023 panel on “Indigenous and Interreligious Engagement” in eco-theology from German/Egyptian, Korean, and Naga standpoints. It’s a big hybridized world out there with dynamic theological interventions emerging. Are you listening?

Enjoying my current PhD student David Lewis’s paper on the importance of the theology of my former PhD student, Tore Johnsen. #YaleEdin2023

A point I could not address during my presentation at #YaleEdin2023, can't get it over my head, so tweeting it out there: Can World Christianity as a field or approach, begin to think of the nonhuman others as part of the community of creation in our discourse?

A real joy to listen to @ARanawana25 engaging with the political theologies of Robbie Shilliam and the experience of land dispossession of indigenous communities in Sri Lanka.

So important for world Christianity to be mindful of indigenous peoples and theology. @UoEDivinity students @EliloEzung and @AxolileQ engaging Professor @RandyWoodley7 on indigenous theology and it’s challenge to the western worldview. – at Edinburgh, Scotland

So proud of the presentations by @mongzarlaru @rathiulung @eliamaggang @arvingouw on themes close to #ecotheology.. not to forget the leadership of @ARanawana25 in @SST_Theology committee.

Another good paper about the sea, Arvin Gouw #SST2023 . Loving this maritime theology, challenging the priority of the land - but also of land-mindedness, with its focus on control, borders, boundaried-thinking, resistance to chaos/disorder. Bring on the sea! We are water-people!
Amazing paper by Elia Maggang #SST2023 about 'Through-flowing church: a blue ecclesiology for our planet's wellbeing' - how the sea teaches us to be church, fluid, dynamic, life-giving, interconnected. Theology needs to be blue. Lots of connections with the positivity of chaos.
