1. South
East
Asian
Theological
Schools,
Inc.
Schools
of
Mission
Theology
and
Ordination
in
Philippine
Context
Class
Schedule
Schedule:
The
class
will
run
for
10
months
and
will
consist
of
3
days
of
classes
each
month.
Based
on
the
Baptist
Conference
of
the
Philippines'
Affirmation
of
Faith,
the
class
will
examine
each
article
in
light
of
traditional
evangelical
theology
and
look
at
applications
and
contributions
in
the
Philippine
context.
The
main
homework
of
he
course
is
that
students
will
be
required
to
write
and
defend
their
own
personal
statement
of
faith.
The
class
will
culminate
in
SEATS'
first
Theological
Forum,
which
will
also
serve,
if
possible,
as
the
ordination
council
for
the
candidates.
1.
We
start
a
live
class
in
June
2012
that
goes
through
the
12
or
so
parts
of
the
BCP
statement
of
faith.
We
could
do
one
3-‐day
class
per
article,
as
follows:
-‐THEOLOGICAL
CONCEPTS:
First
day
would
cover
the
background
for
each
article
from
both
Western
(Greek)
theologies
and
biblical
evidences/support.
-‐THEOLOGICAL
CONCEPTS
IN
PHILIPPINE
CONTEXT:
Second
day
would
look
at
translating
that
article
into
Filipino
(whatever
dialects
are
represented
among
the
students).
Translation
looking
beyond
simply
supplying
a
vernacular
gloss
for
each
English
word
toward
translating
the
concepts
held
within
the
article
itself.
-‐FILIPINO
VOICES
IN
THEOLOGICAL
CONCEPTS:
Third
day
would
look
at
how
the
Philippine
context
can
add
to
add
to
the
richness
of
the
Western
Theologies
expressed
in
the
SOF?
What
things
are
missing?
What
needs
to
be
clarified
in
more
Eastern
terms?
Etc.
2.
The
candidates
write
their
statements
in
the
usual
motif
style,
but
pay
particular
attention
to
making
what
they
write
understandable
in
the
Philippine
context
(and
not
so
much
focus
on
making
it
understandable
to
John
Calvin,
Martin
Luther,
missionaries,
etc
