AbstractThis article invites reflection on the theological purposes of the education of church leaders. It is conceived as a piece of practical theology that arises from the challenge to the Wesley House Trustees in Cambridge to reconceive and re-articulate their vision for theological education in a time of turbulence and change. I reflect on Wesley House’s inheritance as a community of formation (paideia) and rigorous scholarship (Wissenschaft); and on the opportunities offered for the future of theological education in this context by a serious engagement with both the practices and concepts of phronēsis and poiēsis and a dialogical understanding of biblical wisdom, as Wesley House seeks to offer itself as a cross-cultural community of prayer and study to an international Methodist constituency.

Pendekatan model bertutur Hymes, Dell digunakan untuk memahami perbualan komunikasi yang unik dalam sesebuah kelompok masyarakat, juga turut memahami hubungan antara budaya dan bahasa serta menganalisis status kedudukan, kuasa dan ketidaksamaan. Namun, bagi mengisi kehendak-kehendak model bercakap tersebut, novel-novel terpilih terlebih dahulu dikaji, diselidiki dan difahami untuk dijadikan sebagai pengerak utama kepada perkembangan kajian, di mana menjadi asas penting kepada pembentukan bahasa masyarakat yang merentas budaya.   This article shows the uniqueness of Buya Hamka's language across cultures in selected novels. Buya Hamka's selected novels are a work that introduces his readers to the critique and richness of Minangkabau's custom, as well as human fundamental values. Language is a context as a means of communication of sound systems produced through human speech. Buya Hamka's maintains that his words, cultural understandings and traditions support the linguistic aspects of his texts of high value and courtesy. The context of his published language care includes studies in exploring the concept of Buya Hamka's language across cultures. Hymes Dell's approach to speaking models is used to understand unique communication conversations within a group of people, as well as understand cultural and linguistic relationships and analyze status, power and inequality. However, in order to meet the requirements of the model, selected novels were first studied, investigated and understood to serve as key drivers for the development of the study, which is an important foundation for cross-cultural community-building.

In a time of change for the church and its mission effort, important and useful questions are being asked about the cross-cultural mission movement. This article looks at challenges within and outside of the mission movement, and makes helpful critiques of the Christendom basis of Protestant mission. Areas where the movement could experience realignment are explored, such as globalisation, inter-cultural community, discipleship, and contextualisation. Cross-cultural mission is reaffirmed at the same time as difficult questions are asked.

AbstractThis article has been developed from a conversation held and recorded at the Wesley House community in January 2018, as part of its regular Thursday evening Methodist Studies sessions. The session used Roberts’ and Sims’ recently published book Leading by Story to consider how leadership is embodied in ministry. Sharing stories of leadership in Wesley House's cross-cultural community led to significant insights, which arose as one particular leadership story was explored using Roberts’ and Sims’ central concept of ‘curating stories’. This article offers the conversation as a reflective review of the book. Staff, students and friends of Wesley House present at the conversation represented many different contexts, including Methodist churches in the USA, Britain, Fiji, Hong Kong, Kenya, South Korea and Zambia.Leading by Story: Rethinking Church Leadership, Vaughan S.

AbstractThis paper examines the conventional linguistic practices involved in everyday hospitality situations. We compare offers in Arabic and English and, rather than focusing on the differences between the ways interactants in these two cultures make offers, we challenge the notion that offering is in essence differently handled in the two languages. We argue instead that we should focus just as much on the similarities between the ways offers are made, since no two cultural/linguistic groups are diametrically opposed. Furthermore, no cultural or linguistic group can be argued to be homogeneous. Through a detailed analysis of four naturally occurring hospitality encounters, we explore the nature and sequencing of offering and receiving hospitality in each cultural community and discuss the extent to which offers and refusals are conventionalized in each language. In this way we hope to develop a more contextual discursive approach to cross-cultural politeness research. Drawing on Spencer-Oatey’s notion of sociality face, we examine the conventions for being hospitable in order to appear sincere. A qualitative analysis of the data reveals that, while there are similarities in offering behaviour in both English and Arabic, in Arabic, the interactional moves of insisting and refusing are slightly more conventionalized. This however does not constitute a radical difference between the offering norms of these two cultural groups.
