Globalized capitalist economy, with its desire for material progress
at the expense of the dignity of human life and the created order, has
resulted in rising injustices in Asia and elsewhere. How is the Church to
respond to these challenging new realities in Asia? What does it mean to
be Church in the fastest-growing economic region of the world? Where
are we called to stand in the face of spiraling imbalances in economic,
social, and political power? Christina Kheng weaves her thoughts within
the paradigm of liberation theology. The method, ecclesiology, and
concerns of Latin American liberation theologians can be of help to the
Church of Asia. A keen awareness of the social location of the individual
Asian churches will generate greater sensitivity to the concrete experiences
of the marginalized. True liberation is achieved in the creative tension
between the present temporal and the future eschatological realms.
