The Fifth Congress of Asian Theologians (CATS V) was held at the Divinity School of Chung Chi College in the Chinese University of Hong Kong on 21-26 August 2006.

As in the tradition of CATS, a one-day Women's Forum was held on 21 August to provide women participants time for sharing their pain and gain in a usually male-dominated field of theology and theological education.

Four theologians provided theme presentations on the congress theme, "Sharing Hope for a New World." An interfaith panel consisting of scholars from Chinese Buddhism, Thai Buddhism and Islam provided an opportunity to hear from other theologians on the hope of their respective faith communities.
