520 |a Using Singapore as an example, this article aims to study the impact of the rise of civil society upon Christian religious education in Asia. Three aspects are highlighted: (1) the rise of contestation among the advocacy groups, (2) the tension between the modern ideals of civil society and Asian civilizations, and (3) the shifting boundary between church and civil society. Through delineating these social realities, the present article aims to demonstrate the urgent need for Asian churches to grapple with the emerging educational opportunities, challenges, and threats. Rejecting the false dichotomy between politicization and privatization of faith, the paper aims to re-vision in a preliminary fashion a pedagogy of body that takes seriously both the educational efficacy of Christian congregational living and its social relevance. By taking seriously the pedagogical and public significance of Christian congregational life, the article seeks to move beyond both a reductionist view of religious education as specialized ministry in the church and a perceived dichotomy between communal formation and social transformation.
