Human tendencies seem to be universally common and oppression of the weak has been a ubiquitous dynamic showing different faces in different continents and countries. Dalit theology in India stands out with its undergirding principle of pathos, and hermeneutical principle of reading the scripture with the eyes of the poor and oppressed. Atrocities on the Dalits in Andhra Pradesh are invariably committed by the people belonging to the dominant Reddy caste. News papers carry news of incessant heinous crimes the Reddys commit against the Dalits. Our former Chief Minister late Dr. Y. S. Rajashekar Reddy, who belonged to the same caste, but Christian by faith has moved a motion in the State Assembly to consider the Dalit Christians for the Scheduled Caste reservations on par with the Dalits of other religious professions. The same has been sent to the Central government for further consideration. Dr. Reddy has also established what he called as Andhra Pradesh State Christian Minority Finance Corporation. It is in and through this Corporation Dalit Christians are aided in their education, vocational training and employment. The Corporation also takes up issues concerning Christians with the State and the Central government. It also helps in reviving the Christian hospitals, educational institutions, reconstruction of church buildings, purchase of burial grounds, taking Christians on a Holy Land tour on a subsidized tariff. This Corporation has become a ray of hope in the lives of the Dalit Christians of the state of Andhra Pradesh. Church Heads and Christians leaders and the respective state Christian Councils need to pressurize the Chief Ministers to establish such State Christian Minority Finance Corporations catering justice to the Dalits Christians in the Indian Sub- Continent. Mean while the struggle to consider the Dalit Christians for the Scheduled Caste reservations continues in the national scenario.","PeriodicalId":130336,"journal":{"name":"Madang: Journal of Contextual Theology","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131869853","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"The Priest of Han as a Theme in Christian-Shamanist Interfaith Dialogue","authors":"K. Don","doi":"10.26590/MADANG..16.201112.69","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.26590/MADANG..16.201112.69","url":null,"abstract":"In the article I would see into the ‘priest of han’ as a theme which Namdong Suh, one of the fathers of the Minjung theology, has developed, and suggest how he has made a creative and critical encounter with the shamanistic hanpuri. First, I examine in the first step how influential the shamanism is still in Korean society. In this connection I would investigate briefly how the shamanism is incorporated in Korean Protestantism. Second, I explain han and hanpuri in the context of Korean shamanism. Third, I analyze how the Minjung theology has employed the themes of han and hanpuri. Lastly, I give some suggestions about a spiritual formation for the ministry. From the Christian encounter with the shamanism I draw a few consequences. First of all, I suggest that Christian minister should learn something from the attitude of shamans towards the weak and oppressed. They have “a special predilection for the weak and oppressed” (I. M. Lewis) and are ready to be in solidarity with others in suffering. Of course, Christian minister need not to suffer the initiation sickness like shamans, but they must be trained to attain a spiritual competency to sympathize and to be in solidarity with the little people in suffering. Second, I think that the church should be earnest to the priesthood of han. It is not just the duty of the minister. The priesthood of han should be reinterpreted from the perspective of the priesthood of all believers.","PeriodicalId":130336,"journal":{"name":"Madang: Journal of Contextual Theology","volume":"155 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116408996","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Assessing the Nexus between Shamanism and Protestantism in South Korea","authors":"Kim, I. Mok","doi":"10.26590/MADANG..15.201106.7","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.26590/MADANG..15.201106.7","url":null,"abstract":"Korean shamanism has been in existence since the beginning of Korean history. Shamanism - a form of belief common to all tribes ranging throughout north-east Asia, Mongolia and Siberia - became the most prominent religious force dominating Koreans’ lives. It is believed that certain characteristics of Korean shamanism have played both positive and negative roles in relationship to the Protestant Christian mission and ministry in South Korea. The shamanistic concept of God, Hananim was a helpful bridge to Protestant Christianity and helped Korean people accept the notion of the Christian God. The search for present prosperity of Korean shamanism has functioned as a catalyst to spread the Gospel especially in Korean charismatic mega-churches. The function of the shaman, as a mediator between gods and human beings helped Koreans understand Jesus as our Mediator with ease. Also, traditional shamanistic faith energized Christian mission remarkably. On the other hand, the concept of god in shamanism has no precise idea of trinity and redemption. The shaman is merely a human being, and thus needs to know the true Shaman (the Mediator) Jesus Christ. Korean shamanism also tends to lead people to fatalism, and focuses on temporal pleasure and amusement. Shamanistic faith should be transformed into a Christian one. Thus, keeping shamanism’s positive parallel concepts in the Protestant church and its indigenous forms with Christian truth, we should overcome its heretical beliefs and negative elements. The Christian gospel needs to be contextualized into Korean shamanistic culture and transform this culture with the transforming power of the gospel.","PeriodicalId":130336,"journal":{"name":"Madang: Journal of Contextual Theology","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126779750","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Citing the Indian theologian Christopher Duraisingh, it affirms the need to move beyond the traditional privilege accorded to English and English-speaking theologians, to accept that theology is always emerging from the encounter between tradition and context, and to “break open” the traditional institutions that stifled the diversity of voices within the churches. Listening to other voices casts new light on the Christian doctrines of salvation and incarnation as well as traditional approaches to ethics and worship. It also notes the importance of new voices for raising our awareness of the global and cosmic dimensions of Christian faith and for our relationship to other religious traditions. The article concludes with a challenge to those in positions of ecclesiastical and academic authority to pay special attention to voices which may contribute to their own deeper understanding of Christian faith.","PeriodicalId":130336,"journal":{"name":"Madang: Journal of Contextual Theology","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122200685","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
