N2  - Who is the Other? In a culturally and religiously diverse world, how does the church build just relations with the Other without breaching each other’s identity? In　Relation without Relation, the author offers intercultural theology as a decolonizing mission practice. He employs key concepts from Emmanuel Levinas, Jacques Derrida, and Homi Bhabha to provide the philosophical foundation. He proposes an "Altruistic Model" of interfaith dialogue that contributes to a missiology and mission practice aimed at becoming an intercultural church.　Relation without Relation　offers rich resources for becoming an intercultural church and practicing its mission with others, whether they are people of faith or not. While sustaining identities, participants create a safe, welcoming in-between third space where dialogical dialogue takes place, sharing a concern for justice.
