- "The colloquium on 'Confessing Christ in Different Cultures', brought together the largest gathering of participants ever to convene at the Ecumenical Institute, Bossey. Nearly 110 participants from some 35 countries spent a memorable week, 2-8 July 1977, studying, worshipping, living and having an ecumenical dialogue together, around the the theme which is so central to our faith. .... This colloquium was the second in a series designed particularly to bring together African, Asian and other theologians, for an ecumenical encounter and dialogue. The third is scheduled to take place at the Institute, from 16-22 June 1978, on 'Indigenous Theology and the Universal Church', and its report will be published in 1979. The report of the first colloquium on 'African and Asian Contributions to Contemporary Theology', 8-14 June 1976, is available from the Institute". -- Preface.
