The CHRISTE Mission
The Christian Institute for Theological Engagement (CHRISTE) is a gathering of Christian academic scholars and specialised practitioners seeking to facilitate a germination of Christian theological reflection by:
CHRISTE cultivates an ecumenical Christian orientation to promote a common witness. We embrace a generous theological stance that is guided by reverence for the Great Tradition of the Christian faith, that is, a faith shaped by the ecumenical creeds of the ancient undivided Church.
CHRISTE bases its theological interactions on academic research and specialised professional practices. Our academic work and theological reflections are communicated through lectures, interviews, seminars, forums, and writings. These are published either in digital forms through social media or in print and made accessible to people globally.
CHRISTE also collaborates proactively with various Christian and non-Christian institutions of higher education and research around the world to promote our common concerns.
CHRISTE interacts primarily but not exclusively with the following subject matters:
- engaging in ecumenical Christian thought with special focus on cross-disciplinary studies relevant to contextual issues impacting contemporary society; and
- promoting the study of Christian Theology and dialogue with other religions.
