It is therefore appropriate to surface significant issues. The impact of African-American theological currents has been made real in American Christianity and can provide a model for other ethnic cultural and ecclesiological enclaves. Theological reflection among Asians and Hispanics has been limited. Church growth has been rapid, but theological reflection has not accompanied it for various reasons. For one thing, as has been discussed above, the level of theological education among Asian and Hispanics is rising but not with enough force to develop a significant core of theologians.
Asian theology is still Asian.
Journals and studies are published and theological reflection takes place in and for Asian churches. Theologians representing mainline denominations have been active in theological reflection. Among evangelicals there is a dearth of theological reflection. As has already been hinted, the agenda and preparation of Hispanic leaders work against productive theological reflection. Their priorities in ministry include proclamation and ministry evangelism.
