Description
Summary:This paper aims to provide a glimpse of the Convention of Philippine Baptist Churches’ (CPBC) theological education and missional formation specifically through the Central Philippine University College of Theology (CPU CT). In her beginnings and how the CPU CT treaded the path of the pandemic, I have given specific attention to the use of Hiligaynon and woman lenses. Both the indigenous Hiligaynon and woman perspectives have often been left out in reading history and in interpreting the present. The use of both indigenous Hiligaynon and woman perspectives shows a history that is affirming of the devalued indigenous Hiligaynon and woman perspectives because of hegemonic colonial and patriarchal thinking. A step forward or sideward for the CPU CT could be taking a more affirming and empowering take toward embracing the Hiligaynon culture, language and spirituality as well as intentionally recognizing the space and being of women in doing theology and mission.
