Leonard Theological College in Central India (the college where I teach) willhave its annual Christian Home Week, almost as soon as I return to the College. The theme for the week is Conflict Resolution and Christian Home. As a convener of the programme, I take back many insights and fresh ideas form IAMS 2008. One of the persisitent facts that emerged from the plenary sessions, small group discussions, parallel groups presentation and the city exposure is the fact that conclicts/tension/hostility are intrinsically realted with human identity and it construct and/or its assertion over against the other, in whatever forms. Dr. Brian Stanley's presentation directed us to the conviction that it is only in time discipleship of Jesus Christ lies the fruition of the complete potential of humanity can take place. To attain/achieve this state is a process, a journey to be undertaken, an IAMS 2008 has brought together a 'cloud of witnesses' comprised of committed mission-scholars who apparently feel passionate about emissioning a better world, as directed by Jesus Christ. I hope we begin the journey with Jesus Christ as our guide towards that reconciled state.
