Decolonizing “Last Will Be First” and “Mission from the Margins”
This contribution arose from the CWME's “decolonizing seminar” (5–9 June 2023), held in Lisbon on the theme “Making the last first.” Paying particular attention to mission archives and inherited missional‐theological deposits, this essay makes a case for decolonizing mission as both habit and method to create systemic change. Decolonizing of mission as a process is for the whole of the oikos and ecumenical family and is not only a Western Europe …

Dis- Place Theologizing
A danger for all Black contextual/liberative theologians is that of unconsciously somersaulting into homogenizing and static tendencies about Black experiences and contexts. So while we (Black and Asian theologians) argue for cultural agency before “dominant” White audiences and in the company of our own punters, is it not possible that we become complicit in the cause of “levelling” our intra-cultural dynamics as we ignore our own cultural biase…
Navigating “Worlds” in an Ecumenical Journey
Philip A. Potter was one of the “giants” of the ecumenical movement in the middle to latter half of the last century. A Caribbean Methodist, Potter was a gregarious polymath, whose interests spanned Biblical studies, systematic theology, inter faith relations, and, of course, ecumenism. Potter died a few months ago and although advanced plans were already in place for this issue of the journal in terms of the agreed content, we felt it would be r…
Christian Worship
Postcolonialism has greatly influenced biblical and theological criticism but has not yet entered the realm of church worship and practice. 'Christian Worship' brings the insights of postcolonial thinking to the rituals of religious life. The book critically analyses liturgical theology through the lens of postcolonialism and explores the challenges of appropriating postcolonial perspectives in Christian worship. Ranging from liturgical texts and…

Cultures in Dialogue
It can be said that globally we have become plurality. Through technology and globalization, cultures are becoming irrevocably linked and interdependent. Yet, it is also evident that conflicts do arise at the intersections of cultures, with terrifying consequences. In the UK, riots in Bradford, Burnley and Oldham raise the question as to why there is such community fragmentation along social, cultural and ethnic lines. Whatever the reasons, there…
