Knud Jorgensen, secretary to Theme 2, reports:

The core group on "Christian Mission among Other Faiths" met in Hamburg on 17-19 August to bring together their sections for the chapter for the Edinburgh 2010 pre-conference book. The chapter will deal with the main issues in theologies of religion from 1910 to 2010. Against a broad background of contemporary scenarios (especially the implications of globalization) the chapter will reflect hermeneutically on perspectives such as the uniqueness of Christ, salvation, conversion, power encounter, relations to other living faith and a pneumatological view of theology of religion. In addition the group has been collecting a broad selection of cases and position papers relevant for the discussion. These position papers have been placed on the Edinburgh 2010 website and will hopefully be published.
