Abstract
This article seeks to respond to the challenge of doing theology in multi-world contexts, by
understanding how these multiple worlds appear. Understanding the role of power in the
appearance of these different worlds helps in the deconstruction of dominant worlds, but it
leaves one with relativism, and consequently apathy. The article presents a Christo-fiction as a
praxis of doing theology in multi-worlds as a way beyond such relativism.
