Abstract
We held the fourth general assembly of the Ecumenical Association of Third World Theologians (EATWOT) in the Philippines from December 10 - 17, 1996. The theme of the Conference was, “Search for a new, just world order: challenges to theology”. Globalization was looked at and critiqued for the impact it has on the poor as understood from the biblical perspective. Economic globalization was found to work in general against poor nations especially women in those countries hence the feminist perspective emphasised during the deliberations. The context of Asia as the poorest of the third-world continents and its religious pluralism necessitated a re-look at theology in general and Christology in particular.

Summary
1.1 Description Globalization has to do with interaction among people of the world. Such interaction has always been happening in history, through trade, travel, migration, war, exchange of ideas and skills, religion, and culture. Authentic interaction recognizes differences and diversity, in terms of gender, race, ethnic and cultural realities; which are historical realities themselves subject to change and development. In creating counter-balancing forces and alternatives, we will base ourselves on and respect certain basic principles: 1.2.1 The intrinsic value of human life and of the whole cosmos, that we revere as Mother Earth. 1.2.4 The inter-relation of true universality and particularities necessitates the articulation of macro and micro realities; what happens at a local level requires global action and reflection, and vice versa. Solidarity is a historical project with specific programmes, methods, and with liberation as its goal
