回教裁决理事会（Majlis Fatwa ）毫无意外的裁决回教徒不能学习结合了肢体动作、默想、诵经的瑜伽。说毫无意外，因为如果瑜伽的确包含具争议性的色彩，不只是纯运动那么简单。在教会圈子中，这运动也受到一些的质疑，已有不少人执笔提出了反对的原因。我有不少朋友学习瑜伽，以前一些女同事还教了我两招，只是我学不会。我暂时对这运动是有所保留的，但如果要反对，则需要有更多的认识才能判断。
在马来西亚，一些据强烈争议性的议题，如在西方如火如荼的同志运动，因为违反了回教教义，在这里是不容易推行的。这是一层的“保护”，但在全球化的今天，只因为宗教教义不相容的“保护”，能维持多久呢？我们还是要预备自己，这些议题是我们迟早要面对、要回应的！

Meditating on Yoga
I think generally , evangelicals reject yoga, or skeptical about it, and charistmatic are more fundamentalist than evangelical, so reject yoga outright, and demonised yoga.
ReplyDeletebut the above attitude, if known to catholics and other maintstream tradition, they would think very funny, why yoga could be an issue.. haha
any way, evangelicals history in the final shape today, only about 50 years,. I am evangelical. but lately , as I ponder into the mainstream/catholic tradition since early church, I started to rethink the evangelical tradion, and maybe many things that we insist, may need revision..
of course, I know that evangelical draw resources from fundamentalism, reformation, early church fathers, to arrive at the current shape..
but any how, some times, we over do it in some aspect, for example the idea of inerrancy of bible.. and etc..
are luther, calvin, augustine, if living today, considered similar to today evangelicals? I dont think so... haha..thats the conclusion, I got from study of historical theology..
Pls enlighten me?

ReplyDeletePS: I think luther, calvin and augustine wud definitely believe in a carefully nuanced inerrancy (see Millard Erickson's treatment on this)
