Invitation to Celebrate Asia Communication Sunday 2009
The Church is called to bear witness to Christ by taking a courageous and prophetic stand to communicate peace. Realizing this mission, the World Association for Christian Communication – Asia Region invites you to join in the celebration of Asia Communication Sunday on 21 June 2009.
The theme is “Communication is Peace – Taking Sides to Build Viable Communities”. The World Association for Christian Communication (WACC) believes that communication must be used to create community, and to support and develop cultures. It must be participatory and prophetic — in the sense that it challenges injustice and inequality. WACC believes in “taking sides” with those who suffer from lack of peace in order to offer hope for resurrection and new life.
The following worship materials, stories and photos were prepared by communicators around Asia and edited by the WACC-Asia Executive Committee. We hope their message will inspire you to lift up the ministry of Christian communication in your churches, organizations and communities.
You may also access the content on the web at www.waccglobal.org/asia.
We welcome your feedback on Asia Communication Sunday. You may send comments to the Chairperson at smeshack@gmail.com. If 21st June is not a convenient date, you are free to observe the event on another Sunday in the month.
Our prayers and best wishes are with each of you in your vital work of communication for social change. May God bless you as we labor together to build viable communities of peace and justice, a community envisioned by the prophet Isaiah and the apostle John of Patmos, a New Heaven and New Earth.
