Provides a sympathetic window through which the present conflict in Muslim Mindanao should be seen. Melba Maggay sets the issue on a worldwide scale in which races and communities today revert to their "ancient boundaries of ethnicity and religious affinity" in the face of political disintegration and cultural homogenization coming from the West. Rey Corpuz goes back to the historical roots of the conflict, providing readers an understanding of how it all began. Miriam Adeney, on the other hand, finds common ground with Islamic teachings on which the Gospel can take root. She also points out practical measures in order for one to be accepted in the community. An excellent read for those who want to serve out Muslim brothers and sisters in the Philippines, or anywhere in the world. |

A series of meditations from Scripture that seek signposts for understanding the globalization process and what it means to live in a multicultural world. Cultures have an enduring integrity and are to be guarded against forces that would seek to make all people the same, a homeogenization that seems to part of that sometimes tasteless process called globalization. Diversity, not homogeneity, is God's design for the world. A must reading in this time of global mobility. |
