Abstract

Christian mission emphasizes the joyful aspect of God to men because of His presence, which brings salvation. Awareness of the grace aspect has encouraged believers to undertake mission efforts. However, recent studies seek to present the doxological aspect as a motivation for the mission. This writing attempts to raise an awareness about the doxological dimension in guanxi as a motive aspect for believers on doing the mission. To discover this thought, the writer applies a qualitative descriptive method with an Appreciative Inquiry (AI) approach. In cultural studies on guanxi there is a value of ‘face’ regarding to ‘honor’ or dignity on someone we respect. This cultural value has a strong implication of honor and glory (doxology) of God. How the glory of God can be understood in the perspective of guanxi, so it could be a motivational aspect for the believers in today’s mission endeavors? Relating to the Chinese Indonesian context, this work depicts a harmonizing culture and theology between the West and the East on perusing God’s glory. Research Contribution: This research illuminated by the intercultural theology that could contribute to an advance of Christian scholars and many others, both in theory and praxis regarding to mission fields of study. Guanxi and doxology are the harmonizing idea of the West and East for the sake of God’s glory.
