ABSTRACT

This study presented convivienz that combines even up the dimension of life, with paying attention to a matter that a dialogue between religions stops at declaration. The purpose of this study is to show one alternative plan in which convivienz can be applied very usefully at a point that a dialogue is regarded as impossible. The relationship between Christianity and other religions is generally classified into exclusivism, inclusivism, and pluralism. By the way, these arguments are just the controversy within Christian religion. Also, a dialogue between other religions, which these people emphasize, simply stops in declaring a virtual norm as a whole. A dialogue between Christianity and other religions needs to be practically performed at a place of life. Also, this meeting needs to be spread in the total ground such as academic, theological, spiritual, and life dialogue. As such overall ground, this study introduces Conviviez that is presented by T. Sundermeier. Convivienz is explained together with two concepts called ‘Convivialidad’ and ‘conviviencia.’ Convivienz is a word that means small community of the vulgar herd in South America based on the emotion of Convivialidad. This place is space that is formed with meeting, dialogue, learning, and festival. By the way, conviviecia, and convivienz as experience of communal life, which is placed on its origin, can persuasively combine theory and practice aiming at existence with other religions. Namely, that is because convivienz is completed through learning, assistance, and feast as well as dialogue. T. Sundermeier sees that Convivienz is possibly realized by small local churches in modern times. This study puts forward Stanley Johns as one model that realized the spirit of convivienz at the missionary field. He showed one model in missionary work through dialogue and community in India.
