Description
Summary:[The author describes three challenges that the current cultural, religious, and political contexts of the United States present to the Church's mission: cultural diversity caused by new waves of immigration, religious pluralism by the increasing presence of non-Christian religions, and political hegemony by the collapse of the Soviet Union. With insights from the experiences of the Asian churches, the author then discusses inculturation, interreligious dialogue, and liberation as constitutive dimensions of the Church's mission in the United States.]
