dc.description.abstract |
Globalisation develops at a staggering pace that envelopes and infiltrates local South African
communities in various ways. Through technology a person can have access to anything
today. Should the church try to keep up, or compete with such a reality? This article aims
to encourage the church to develop a responsible missional character, which embraces the
opportunities globalisation offers – to be a participative forum in a community comprising of
more than religious people. Through re-evaluating the church’s missional intent, by shifting
the paradigm away from self-centred outcomes, the church should contribute to such a
community’s articulation of faith. |
