Os Guinness: Globalization - The Challenge
From the third Lausanne Conference: Cape Town 2010: Globalization: The Challenge by Os Guinness
3 important tasks:
- discern
- assess
- engage
Globalization:
- multiple modernities (American, European, Asian (Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Singaporean)
- countervailing descriptions of modernity
- becoming global and becoming local (Europe/Basks)
- winners and losers of globalization
3 grand global tasks
- prepare the global south for globalization
- the most of the south is premodern
- the Church in the west is in profound cultural captivity
- come over to the west and help us to win the west back
- a third mission to the west is necessary (1. Rome, 2. conversion of the Germanic tribes)
- help humanity forward at this global hour
- the next generation is crucial for the global future
