In 2010, 3 issues of PRAXIS will be published. The first issue will focus on “Women and Gender” (April) issues, the second will be on the “Climate Justice” (August) and last issue will be on “Human Rights” (December).
In the advent of electronic media, we continue to publish PRAXIS in printed form and electronic form to reach a wider number of audience taking into consideration that a significant number of young people, especially in Asia, cannot easily access Information, Communication Technology (ICT) tools.
PRAXIS is a communication tool for the WSCF and the SCM to express their views, reflections on issues and topics concerning their context. It is also a space to know about the work of the SCMs and WSCF and stay in touch with global Ecumenical Movement.
Once again, we encourage the SCMs to contribute articles, news, photos, essays, poems, artwork to PRAXIS. We hope to receive these contributions one month before scheduled publication of PRAXIS.

Praxis, WSCF AP’s official publication, continues to be a viable tool of communicating the voices and concerns of young people in the SCMs and the issues that concerns their lives. Although the circulation is limited, about 500 copies worldwide, this is sent to school libraries, organization, teachers and member movements where possibilities of reproduction is high. Praxis is also sent online to a wide-range of readers, primarily to people who have access to internet. Many of the articles in PRAXIS has been re-produced as materials for educational purposes in local activities and programs of SCMs and youth groups. Although the mode of communication and sharing of reading resources has drastically changed to internet-based, we hope to maintain the published PRAXIS to reach-out to wide audience that has no access to internet for various reasons.
In 2008, (3) three issues of PRAXIS were published. The first issue (no. 1 January-April 2008) was on the theme, “Women, Poverty, HIV-AIDS,” it published articles on Economic Globalization and the Free Market from a Gender Perspective and an article on the experience of a young woman working with people living with AIDS entitled,” Enlivening the Faith: Women HIV and AIDS.” The issue also featured news of events, articles from the region and national movements.
The second issue (no. 2 May-August 2008), dealt on the issue of the Culture of Peace with articles on Youth and the Culture of Peace and biblical reflection the WSCF General Assembly theme, “ Your Sons and Daughters Shall Prophesy.” This issue featured reflections of the experiences of two delegates to the WSCF GA.
The third issue (no. 3 September-December 2008) on the theme of Human Rights, Justice and Peace. The banner article was a reflection on the Christian response towards the communal violence that took place in Orissa, India and the biblical reflection on Human Rights. |
