-Academy for Contextual Theologies in Taiwan (ACTT)-
The Academy for Contextual Theologies in Taiwan (ACTT) is a contextual theological movement established under the patronage of Grace Foundation. More than twenty years after the establishment of the Foundation, its Board of Trustees determined to establish the ACTT in order to forge the strong commitment and supports of its founders Frank and Ruth Lin, for a profound and relevant theological education and Theological construction root in the contexts of Taiwan. Although ACTT is dedicated to the studies and development of contextual theologies in Taiwan, our purpose is not only to emphasize on theological knowledge, but also to strengthen and deepen Christian faith and praxis. Especially, we intend to follow the spirit of its founders, who served the Lord with love through devotion to preaching the Gospel, establishing churches, supporting theological education, and taking care of the downtrodden and minority in the society.
The aim of the ACTT is to promote the study of Taiwanese contextual theologies by engaging young scholars to form research teams to do theologies through operating Theological Salon, holding domestic and international theological conferences, and publishing theological books and articles. We aim to preserve the legacy of Taiwanese contextual theologies and developing promising new frontiers.
