This study will investigate the WCC concept of &bdquo / Dialogue between Christianity and other Living Faithsâ, and its contributions in Asia, more specifically its impact on the relationship between Christians and Muslims in Indonesia. The study will focus on an Indian theologian, Stanley J Samartha, one of the most influential figures in the promotion of this concept within the WCC. The research will entail an analysis of Samarthaâs views on Christian dialogue with other faiths, and a critical assessment of his work in the field of &bdquo / missionâ, through his publications and various WCC documents. The contextual relevance of the study is highlighted by several spheres of tensions and conflicts: a) in the global context: the clash of cultures / b) in the ecumenical world: the divide between evangelicals and ecumenical / c) in the Asian context: the tension between dialogue and mission, between gospel and context / and d) in the Indonesian context: the ongoing tension between Muslims and Christians, and the tension between &bdquo / local gospelâ and the Biblical gospel.
