Full text not available from this repository.Abstract
Since 2013, Ukraine’s political unrest and ongoing military conflict have presented unique challenges to the country’s evangelical churches and seminaries. This essay presents suggestions for the Church – and especially the seminary – in the midst of these ongoing crises. First, the essay gives an overview of events of previous decades in Ukraine, followed by a brief analysis of the 2013-2014 Euromaidan protests and the resulting military conflict in eastern Ukraine. Then, the essay considers several broad theological and practical areas of concern resulting from these new realities: the relationship between Church and politics, social justice, identity, challenges to leadership, and war. As it offers a case study from the Ukrainian context, this essay illustrates how the seminary can offer wisdom for the Church in tense socio-political contexts.
