Rev. Dr Jun Vencer, WEF International Director
"Like some of you, frankly, I don’t really understand this phenomenon (globalisation) which is a fact of our time. Like the wind, we can see and feel its impact in our lifestyle and society, but we cannot grasp what it really is.
But…if the Church has to be relevant and prophetic, it has to be able to define the problems of our times as the starting point. Only then will we be able to identify priorities for ministries and, more relevantly, move ahead.
If we are to accept the reality of globalisation, then we must also respond as a global church. Evangelicals, of all people, should be able to deal with this phenomenon because, theologically, our ecclessiology affirms that there is only ONE BODY."
Rev. Datuk Dr Prince Guneratnam, NECF Malaysia Chairman
"We cannot afford to let the world move into a supersonic jet and computerised age of IT while the church is left behind in the horse-and-cart or the bullock-cart age. We cannot bury our heads in the sand like an ostrich and believe all is well.
We hope, the call for this consultation will challenge us to be at the cutting edge and also to be a witness that we care and are concern about the future and the relevancy of the Gospel."
Rev. Wong Kim Kong, NECF Malaysia Secretary-General
"It is imperative for us to present a clear Christian perspective on how the process of globalisation can be best used to bring maximum benefits to the globalised world."
