Your prompt response is requested.

Questions or possible themes

➢ How relevant are these new ecclesiologies for the Southern African context; is this phenomenon only relevant for the Northern church, grappling with rampant secularization and postmodernism?

➢ What are the theological roots of the missional ecclesiologies and how do we continue the dialogue with the interlocutors?

➢ How do we reflect biblically on missional ecclesiologies? What are the different ways in which the Bible is read and interpreted? What creative means of reading can be explored?

➢ What stories of hope can we tell from Southern Africa, suggesting a new, or emerging postcolonial expression of being church.
