Since it was established in 2007 as a centre of world religion and then in 2016 it was reorganized into a centre of religion and society, this centre has been entrusted with the ministry to engage in seminars, organizing forums, lectures and promoting research and writing. The main objective is to guide and equip the Malaysian Christian community in understanding its contribution and role in inter-religious relations and cross-cultural communication for harmony among multiple communities as well as for theological education.
Therefore it’s my honored and privilege to be appointed and responsible for leading CRS in 2024, following the transfer of Mr. Ram Buraat to the Sabah Theological Seminary (STS) Kota Kinabalu to take up a position as a lecturer.
Throughout 2024 CRS was also involved in three important conference. The reason for our involvement is not only because represent STM but also the topics or issues discussed at the conference are also issues that are the strong priority of theological education at our seminary.
