520 |a The current challenges facing Australian Churches in the light of national and international tensions are critical. A response is required, one that is spiritual and educational, that draws on the wisdom of the Christian tradition and speaks to the current lived experience of people. This response will also affirm the ongoing thirst for “spirituality” in our world. The tendency in some methodologies to emphasise doctrinal content needs to be balanced by one that affirms our cultural and historical present, and the spiritual quest of people. The Letter to the Colossians speaks a balancing voice to doctrinal exclusiveness. A study of the author's concern expressed in the letter reveals an emphasis on “knowledge” with its unique nuance, and a christological focus that reflects a desire to “educate” in difficult times. In addition, the author addresses the tendency to adopt a form of religious exclusiveness and asceticism divorced from the real world and the faith tradition into which the audience were baptised.
