"Future Asian theologians should be like ants, bees and spiders! Ants because of their way of patiently gathering nourishing materials, bees because they have to fly all over the world and bring home more knowledge and good ideas, and spiders because they have to be able to build webs between different theological concepts from around the globe and the inherited notions of their local cultures and religions."
