The Mission And Ministry Of The East Asian Pastoral Institute For The Local Churches In Asia And Oceania, Paul B. Steffen, Svd
The Mission And Ministry Of The East Asian Pastoral Institute For The Local Churches In Asia And Oceania, Paul B. Steffen, Svd
Asia Pacific Mission Studies
The EAPI is a typical international, interregional pastoral institute. It trains primarily multipliers in the ecclesial-pastoral ministry for the Asia-Pacific region. In 1986/87, 20 years after the first course, the institute had 14 resident members in the teaching staff. The novelty of the Pastoral Institute has been able to consolidate itself in this region and meet the existing needs. The EAPI is today a centre for the ecclesial-pastoral renewal of the Asian-Pacific local churches and it also contributes to the exchange of pastoral experiences with other local churches.

Pastoral Ministry At The Intersections Of Life For A Synodal Church In Asia, Charles Bertille
Pastoral Ministry At The Intersections Of Life For A Synodal Church In Asia, Charles Bertille
Asia Pacific Mission Studies
This paper is condensed from the Keynote Address presented by the author at EAPI's 60th Anniversary. Pastoral ministry in Asia unfolds amid pluralism, migration, inequality, and shifting identities, requiring a vision beyond sacramental maintenance toward lived experience and communal struggle. Rooted in Vatican II, Asian theology, and the Synod on Synodality, ministry is participatory, dialogical, and mission-oriented. Synodality calls for conversion of spirit and structure: humility, discernment, and trust. Leadership must be missionary, interculturally competent, and committed to the poor and creation. Formation institutes such as EAPI and NIFSA serve as laboratories for synodal practice, fostering prophetic leadership. Ultimately, synodality …

Migrants For The Sake Of The Lord, Fr. Renzo De Luca, Sj
Asia Pacific Mission Studies
This article presents the 37 Japanese Martyrs of Japan proposed for beatification who died in the 1868–71 period. They represent a little-known part of the so called “Last Persecution” of Japan. They are proposed as an example of exiled people who accepted the trials they suffered because of their Faith. First, a brief background of their situation is given, who they were, and the influence they had in Japanese society, which was mainly the introduction of religious freedom in Japan by the Meiji Government that opened a cultural and religious exchange with the West. Some examples are given of their …

Pope Francis On Forced Migration: A Pastoral Of Mercy And Its Relevance In The Indonesian Context, Alexander Hendra Dwi Asmara, Martinus Dam Febrianto
Pope Francis On Forced Migration: A Pastoral Of Mercy And Its Relevance In The Indonesian Context, Alexander Hendra Dwi Asmara, Martinus Dam Febrianto
Asia Pacific Mission Studies
Dealing with refugees, was the late Pope Francis’ legacy, during his pontificate, both as the leader of the Catholic Church and a global figure. This article reviews Francis’ pastoral approach of mercy, especially in his concern and advocacy for migrants and refugees, as expressed through his gestures, statements, thoughts, proposals, and policies. Along with issues of global inequality and ecological damage, Francis believed that forced migration can only be addressed through joint efforts based on recognizing human dignity, solidarity, the need for participation, as well as connectivity and inclusivity that encompasses the entire human family. This article then highlights the …
Pope Francis’ Theology Of Hospitality As An Advocacy Model For Refugee Management In The Indonesian Context, Ishak Jacues Cavin
Pope Francis’ Theology Of Hospitality As An Advocacy Model For Refugee Management In The Indonesian Context, Ishak Jacues Cavin
Asia Pacific Mission Studies
This article examines the shortcomings of current refugee management practice and makes the case for a shift towards a rights-based approach. It contends against prevailing charitable and needs-based reactions by asserting that these sorts of frameworks have a tendency to overlook refugees as entire human beings possessing inherent dignity and rights. Such models tend to depict refugees as recipients of aid passively without their potential for empowerment and social engagement. As a response, the study introduces Pope Francis' theology of hospitality as a comprehensive advocacy model. The model is established on four important stages: welcoming, protecting, supporting, and, notably, integrating. …

The Great Spirit In Indigenous Peoples' Lives And The Future Of Pneumatology, Jojo M. Fung Sj
The Great Spirit In Indigenous Peoples' Lives And The Future Of Pneumatology, Jojo M. Fung Sj
Asia Pacific Mission Studies
With the unsustainability of the current global economic and financial systems that have exacerbated the ecological crises, it is timely to turn our attention to the shamanic religiosity of the indigenous peoples. The wisdomteachings of shamanic pneumatology are invaluable in helping the earth community to negotiate this critical ecological era. The first part of this paper explains the indigenous understanding and experience of the Great Spirit. The second part will delve into the future of pneumatology in terms of the three major paths: live-in dialogue, plunging into the depth of religious mystical traditions, and dialogue with modern science and cosmology.

Shaping A Culture Of Encounter In A Fragmented World: Culture, Politics, And The Promise Of Interreligious Dialogue, Leo D. Lefebure
Asia Pacific Mission Studies
We are constantly reminded on many different fronts that our global community is facing crises of major proportions. Of these, ethno-religious nationalism emerging in many different countries of the world, and the rapidly increasing destruction of our Earth's ecosystem manifested in the phenomenon termed “climate change,” stand out as key challenges facing all of us. Pope Francis has called on all people of good will to work together in stemming the tide of destruction, and highlights the importance of interreligious dialogue in his regard. This essay names five areas wherein interreligious dialogue and cooperation may be applied to usher in …

Towards A Mosim Christology: A Korean Response, Hwang Kyung-Hoon
Asia Pacific Mission Studies
This article will reflect on Jesus' understanding of God, and will then move on to discuss the Korean people's cultural understanding of Jesus. It will offer Mosim Christology (mosim means reverencing or serving humans and God in one's heart sincerely) as a meaningful Christology for Korean people. It will show the relationship between Jesus' experience of God as Abba and mosim, our main theme.
God And Creation In The Writings Of Pseudo-Dionysius And Brahmabandhab Upadhyay, Simplicio D'Souza
God And Creation In The Writings Of Pseudo-Dionysius And Brahmabandhab Upadhyay, Simplicio D'Souza
Asia Pacific Mission Studies
Christian theology over the centuries has established itself in Western categories of thought. The official Church magisterium at times is at pains to acknowledge, nay condone, expressions of theological thought in categories other than the established ones. In our paper, we explore the theological consonances between a classical Western theologian and an Eastern (rather Asian) theologian. If Pseudo-Dionysius attempted to interpret Christianity through Neoplatonism, Brahmabandhab Upadhyay explores Christianity through the Indian Advaita Vedānta. We place them into dialogue in their theological explorations regarding God and creation, only to realize that expressing the inexpressible can happen in different cultures, yet be …

A Muslim-Catholic Mariology Iii1: Maryam Umm Eisa (Mary, Mother Of Jesus), R. T. Oliveros
A Muslim-Catholic Mariology Iii1: Maryam Umm Eisa (Mary, Mother Of Jesus), R. T. Oliveros
Asia Pacific Mission Studies
The Virgin Birth in Islam is not about Maryam but she was chosen by Allāh for something bigger than herself. Maryam was 'made pure' by Allah (3.42) to be the perfect receptacle of the 'Word' who is Jesus the Christ (Eisa al-Masih). Her being immaculate (pure and sinless) is not to draw attention to herself but it is about the child—Eisa (Jesus), central to Allah's divine plan.
Body And Prayer: Comparing Taoist And Christian Methods Of Meditation, Paulin Batairwa Kubuya Sx
Body And Prayer: Comparing Taoist And Christian Methods Of Meditation, Paulin Batairwa Kubuya Sx
Asia Pacific Mission Studies
This article explores the problems arising from the cross-cultural setting where these eastern and western meditative traditions meet. It further suggests that every interpretation and expansion of methods of meditation has to bear in mind the broadness and complexity of the new multicultural environment where the old techniques are being practiced. Such awareness will enable the birth of appropriate methods inspired by old traditions and yet fit for today's spiritual needs. Within overviews of the Taoist and Christian practices of meditation, we focus on the body—its role and place in meditation—to understand how Taoist and Christian meditations are related.
Understanding And Accessing North Korean Religion, Byun Jin Heung
Understanding And Accessing North Korean Religion, Byun Jin Heung
Asia Pacific Mission Studies
Questions about North Korean religion always come with a question mark, and the general level of understanding about North Korean society is very low. This stems from doubts about North Korean communism. However, North Korea is a human society in which people live. As the society of North Korea has changed, so has the religion of North Korea. North Korea, especially after the collapse of the Cold War between East and West, has sought to change to survive and has used religion to gain recognition and acceptance from the international community. Religion has always been a tool to be used. …
