Presentation Transcript

  1. “Story of Redemption” • SawaiChinnawong, of Payap University, Chiang Mai, Thailand, is well known in Asia for his portrayals of Biblical imagery in a traditional Thai graphic idiom. He was the Paul T. Lauby artist in residence at OMSC in 2003-2004. • "My work represents influences from many styles...I believe Jesus Christ is present in every culture, and I have chosen to celebrate his presence in our lives through Thai traditional cultural forms.      My belief is that Jesus did not choose just one people to hear his Word, but chose to make his home in every human heart. And just as his Word may be spoken in every language, so the visual message can be shared in the beauty of the many styles of artistry around the world."

  4. Twentieth-Century Migrations

  5. “Christianity 2013: … Faith and Migration”(Todd Johnson et al, IBMR January 2013) • “… the total number of international migrants living around the world has grown substantially over the past fifty years, climbing from about 80 million people in 1960 to about 214 million in 2010, a rise in percentage of the world’s population from 2.6 to 3.1…. Christians and Muslims make up a disproportionate number of global migrants. Christians constitute nearly half (49 percent) of the world’s 214 million migrants, whereas Muslims make up the second largest share, at 27 percent. Thus, together they make up 76 percent of the world’s migrants, even though they represent only 55 percent of the world’s population.”

  6. “Christianity 2013: … Faith and Migration”(cont.) • Another study confirmed “859 million people (12.5 percent of the global population) from 327 ethnolinguistic peoples in diasporas around the world. [These] results showed that while Christians and Muslims make up 55.3 percent of the world’s population, they represent 72.8 percent of all people in diaspora. In addition, the continuing trend of religious migration around the world is both increasing and intensifying religious diversity, especially in the former ‘Christian West’.”
