More on the question of impact of the Church in society today, this discussion firmly declares the responsibility which Christians are called to serve by faith – even so to save the lost culture around us. By living as faithful members actively engaged with the community, we as individuals are due to represent God’s justice and Love (with relevance to the Lutheran confessions of Law and Gospel). Part two of this interview with Dr. Joel Biermann, Waldemar A. and June Schuette Professor of Systematic Theology at Concordia Seminary, St. Louis.

This topic discusses issues in the relationship between Church and State in the modern Western world, so evident in the declining faithful community (with report from both the USA and UK). By assessing trends in human thought and secular influences, it explains theories which expose reasons why society today disregards the reality and truth of God.

A key point to recall during Epiphany is this central doctrine on the Justification by faith we receive through Christ alone. We can see all mankind is lost in sin, with need to correct misdeeds. Yet by Christ’s work of atonement we are saved, as God in Man made manifest this truth: We can trust it, and are called to live our lives now assured by grace, in love, obedience and thankfulness to God. Interview with Rev. Dr. Jonathan Riches, Dean of the Reformed Episcopal Seminary in Blue Bell, Pennsylvania

This explores more on the topic of integrating Christian faith in India today, with challenging issues of enculturation. For example, inter-faith dialogue can help to define the differences between Christ and the Hindu Avatar. Also, the issue of family resistance to members converting to Christian faith requires patience with instruction; while ultimately, the Biblical Christ in mercy can be seen as Truth. Second of two parts in this interview with Rev. Dr. Sam Thompson, professor at Concordia Theological Seminary in Nagercoil, India

We can understand some of the current issues which affect Christian conversion in India by reviewing some specific contexts: related to tradition and culture, family associations, poverty, and social structure. Also, by reviewing the history of how it was first received: how Christ was respected for his ethics and teachings, by the Hindu leaders keen to bring positive development to the nation.
