Religious Institutions - San Diego, California, United States
The Christian Institute for Theological Engagement (CHRISTE) is a gathering of Christian scholars and specialised practitioners seeking to:1) engage in ecumenical Christian thought with special focus on cross- disciplinary studies relevant to contextual issues impacting contemporary society; and2) promote the study of Christian Theology and Interfaith Dialogue among the Christian populace in order to facilitate a germination of Christian theological reflection.CHRISTE cultivates an ecumenical Christian orientation to promote a common witness. We embrace a generous theological stance that is guided by reverence for the Great Tradition of the Christian faith, that is, a faith shaped by the ecumenical creeds of the ancient undivided church.CHRISTE bases its theological interactions on academic research and specialised professional practices. Our academic work and theological reflections are communicated through lectures, interviews, seminars, forums, and writings. These are published either in digital forms through social media or in print and made accessible to people globally.CHRISTE interacts primarily but not exclusively with the following concerns:§ Ecumenical dialogue§ Interreligious dialogue§ Inculturation§ Women and children in society § Ecological concerns§ Modernity§ Spirituality§ Morality and ethics§ Socio-economic matters§ Colonial historyCHARTER & AFFILIATIONCHRISTE is a non-profit academic institution and not an ecclesiastical one, although it is open to collaborate with and be of service to ecclesiastical institutions. It is chartered as a Research Institute under the prerogative of the United Nations Treaty Series 49006/49007. This means that CHRISTE comes under the legal governance of international law, which is consistent with the global character of the Institute.By virtue of its charter, CHRISTE is also an affiliated Research Institute of the School of Theology and Interfaith Studies belonging to Pôle Universitaire Euclide.
