SCHOOL OF THEOLOGY (ENGLISH) 60th ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION
Celebrates God¡¯s faithfulness through the years
From Generation to Generations:
Responding to the new realities of
the 21st Century
Arising out of the ashes of World War II and the postcolonial era and the emergence of scores of new nations, the world is increasingly becoming more diverse and varied both longitudinally with more generations living together and laterally as new cultural narratives are being written.
As SOTE marks its 60th anniversary, join us for a week of engaging events that celebrates God¡¯s faithfulness through the years, reflects on the tidal waves of change that are shaping Singapore and the world, and mobilizes Christ¡¯s disciples and His church to embrace the host of possibilities and opportunities of this 21st century.

Youth Ministry - A Singaporean Perspective
Youth ministry in Singapore is unique because of how we employ Western methods in an Asian context. What works for one church may not work in another so it is wiser to learn principles in approaching youth ministry instead of how to do it.

Living Out Theology in the Marketplace, Session 1:
Writing on the Wall
Platform companies bring the world to us. Our values are a slice of the larger picture of values and truths. Contextualising faith in multi-worldview systems demands a robust theological perspective. How do we engage both the physical and virtual market place?

Living Out Theology in the Marketplace, Session 2:
Learning Curation
Digitization has redefined knowledge, redistributed access, and renegotiated authority. Every institution and industry is undergoing rapid change. Framing faith in a non-linear system requires agility. How do we engage transitions with empathy?

Living Out Theology in the Marketplace, Session 3:
Embracing Artificial Intelligence
Big data, artificial intelligence, and cognitive neuroscience are outpacing the fastest sprints mankind can offer. Built-in biases, habit breaking and forming hacks are in place. Assessing faith propositions invite deep theological reflection. How do we engage in large and small decisions?

Living Out Theology in the Marketplace, Session 4:
Visualizing Stories
Movie franchises are re-narrating the age old stories of good and evil, power and fear, and of control and possibly even repointing the moral compass. These worldview-based stories are conversation launchers. Presenting faith stories is grounded in relationships. How do we enter into opportunistic dialogues?
