About the lecture
There is perhaps little controversy in the observation that we live in an increasingly fractured and fragmented world, where we are daily inundated with news of natural catastrophes, economic upheavals, geopolitical contestations, resulting in wars and rumours of wars. The age of colonialism has seemingly re-emerged, albeit in a different permutation. This lecture is an attempt to provide a Christian commentary of current world affairs through a geopolitical, social as well as missional perspective.
