CCA-FMU is co-organizing with the World Council of Churches Faith and Order Unit a consultation for younger theologians from the South on interrogating and redefining power.

Hosted by the Church of Christ in Thailand and the Payap McGilvary Faculty of Theology, the consultation is from 23 to 28 February 2004 at Crystal Spring House in Chiang Mai, Thailand.

Expected to attend are 26 younger theologians from Asia and Africa, Latin America, the Caribbean and the Pacific. They will come as resource persons in their own right, bringing in their stories, experiences and reflections on power in its many dimensions.

Two resource persons to provide inputs will be Kim Yong Bock, chancellor of the Advanced Institute for the Study of Life in Korea who will provide the biblical and theological foundations on power; and Carolyn Anonuevo of the UNESCO Institute for Education to provide a feminist sociological pespective on power.

The consultation is part of the series of activities in observance of the WCC-initiated Decade to Overcome Violence.
