CCA RECEIVES THEOLOGICAL STUDENTS FROM KOREACCA welcomed a delegation of 10 Theological Students from the Presbyterian College and Theological Seminary (PCTS), Seoul, Korea, led by the Rev. Dr. Han Kook IL and accompanied by Rev. Huh on 30th January 2012.  The young seminarians spent about two hours interacting with Rev Dr. Henriette Hutabarat Lebang, General Secretary, and other members of staff, watching a documentary about CCA, listening to the vision, mission and goals, structure of the CCA, the challenges in the present Asian context and program thrusts of the various units like Faith, Mission and Unity (FMU), Ecumenical Formation, Gender Justice and Youth Empowerment (EGY) and Justice, International Affairs and Development and Service (JID) as well as programs related to HIV and AIDS concerns. Answering questions on how to make CCA reach the local church and the whole of Asia, Dr. Henriette, said that the challenge to make CCA relevant in the rapidly changing scenario in Asia is a major task that the Asian churches have to solve together. She also explained that CCA encourages the development of Asian Contextual Theology, as well as Asian Music, Art and Liturgy.The CCA was glad to receive the young people from Korea as this would go a long way in not only strengthening relationship but would also help the young people to appreciate the understanding of an ecumenism that is rooted in the diversity and richness of Asian cultures and traditions.
