Overview: Navigating Faith and Citizenship in a Global City

Engaging Society is the sixth volume in the CSCA Christianity in Southeast Asia Series, expertly edited by Michael Nai-Chiu Poon. This thought-provoking and insightful collection of essays directly confronts the crucial role and responsibilities of Christians in tomorrow's Singapore. It is designed to inspire believers to move beyond private piety and actively contribute to the nation's social and moral fabric. The book is divided into two parts: exploring Singapore's identity as a global, national, and communal entity; and resourcing the Christian mind with theological frameworks, including Catholic Social Teaching and critiques of modern spirituality. It encourages a deep contemplation of the church's social power and motivates Christians to work together with others toward a better Singapore.
