Description: Focusing on themes related to Christian life, this issue analyzes Filipino culture and ethics. Clemente defines a Father Motif Leadership style, integrating the cultural dynamic of sakop (in-group) for effective Filipino evangelical guidance. Wanak argues that genuine Christian learning is experiential and should integrate cognitive, affective, and activist dimensions. Capaque analyzes the ethical debate surrounding the Philippine Family Planning Program, focusing on the ethic of contraception within the theological context of marriage and the sanctity of life.
