520 $a The goal of this dissertation is to develop a contextual theology of Filipino American diaspora identity focusing on the experience of two Bible study groups of Filipino American United Methodist Church members in Gateway North District, New Jersey.
520 $a This research project is a response to the mission potential and the problematic issues that accompany Filipino migration. Specifically, the study has focused on the crisis of cultural identity Filipino Americans are experiencing in migration life. This problem poses a challenge to Filipino American churches to respond and reach out to their kababayan (fellow Filipinos) in ways that are relevant to their identity concerns. It is however important that in order for the church's mission to be socially relevant and scripturally based, it should start with theological reflections that are responsive of the crisis in question.
520 $a This study is mainly ethnographic in method but has also engaged in an integrated methodology of theological, demographic and historical research as well as contextual hermeneutics---all within the milieu of missiology. The main research methods used were participant observation, focus groups and interview. The contextualization method used was an adaptation from Robert Schreiter's and William Dyrness' models of contextualization. I, however, modified some parts of their model to better fit the theme and goal of my research better.
520 $a At the end of the study, fourteen theological themes were articulated. These are: spirituality, two homes, adaptability, damayan (sharing), connection to homeland, courage, cultural preservation, morality, respect for the elderly, close familial ties, God's providence, cultural expression in worship, struggle for equality, and connectionalism. A motif that emerged in many of these themes is home. In the end, I used home as a metaphor to refer to the participants' homeland and unique cultural traits and perspectives they brought in their diaspora life.
520 $a I expect the contextual theology developed here to provide helpful insights to Filipino American churches---as the intended readers---to initiate developing Bible study materials that will deal with their own identity crisis, and mission tools for reaching out to their fellow Filipinos in diaspora.
