Decolonial Horizons: Reimagining Theology, Ecumenism and Sacramental Praxis [Hardcover]

This is the first of two volumes of essays from the Ecclesiological Investigations International Research Network's 14th International Conference focused on decolonizing churches and theology, addressing oppressions based on gender, racial, and ethnic identities; economic inequality; social vulnerabilities; climate change and global challenges such as pandemics, neoliberalism, and the role of information technology in modern society, all connected with the topic of decolonization.

The essays in this volume focus on decoloniality in religious and theological dialogue, migration, history, and education, written from historical, dogmatic, social scientific, and liturgical perspectives.1 Decolonial Horizons: An Introduction.- Part I Migration, Diaspora and Decolonization.- 2 Coloniality, Diaspora, and Decolonial Resistance.- 3 Immigration, Immunity, Community, and the Church: Roberto Espositos Biopolitical Immunitary Paradigm.- 4 Decolonizing Among Filipin@ Migrant-Settlers.- Part II Decolonizing Dialogue.- 5 A World in Which Many Worlds Fit: Ecumenism and Pluriversal Ontologies.- 6 Colonization, Proselytism and Conversion: Can Interfaith Dialogue Be the Answer?
