Growing As An Indonesian Ursuline Together With Muslim Friends, Nurhayati Wiguno Osu
Growing As An Indonesian Ursuline Together With Muslim Friends, Nurhayati Wiguno Osu
Asia Pacific Mission Studies
The author's beautiful childhood experience in the dialogue of life, spiritual experience, and cooperation with Muslim friends became a strong foundation when choosing to live in a convent, where she must live 24 hours a day continuously with other Sisters of different backgrounds, cultures, ethnicities, and nationalities. Saint Angela's charism of siete piazzevole, the twofold of love, and contemplation in action can be a strength in realizing the Ursuline Mission to engage in dialogue to find new breakthroughs that can make us neighbors to others.
Thirty Years After The Council: The Catholic Church In The Philippines' Reception Of Pcp Ii And Remembrance Of Martial Law, Kenjie I. Cortez
Thirty Years After The Council: The Catholic Church In The Philippines' Reception Of Pcp Ii And Remembrance Of Martial Law, Kenjie I. Cortez
Asia Pacific Mission Studies
2021 was a momentous time for the Catholic Church in the Philippines as it commemorated the thirtieth anniversary of the Second Plenary Council of the Philippines (PCP II).2 Nonetheless, the following year was in no way inconsequential because it marked both thirty years since the promulgation of the Council's Decrees and fifty years since the declaration of martial law. While one may find this a sheer coincidence, one must not forget that the country’s martial law experience significantly shaped PCP II’s and its vision of renewal for the Philippine Church.3 With the election of the dictator’s son and namesake to …

Synodality, Community, And The Margins, Gemma Tulud Cruz
Asia Pacific Mission Studies
Synodality is generally understood to represent a process of discernment-with the aid of the Holy Spirit-involving bishops, priests, religious, and lay Catholics, each according to the gifts and charisms of their vocation. As Gaudium et Spes reminds us it is for God’s people as a whole, with the help of the Holy Spirit, and especially for pastors and theologians, to listen to the various voices of our day, discerning them and interpreting them, and to evaluate them in the light of the divine word, so that the revealed truth can be increasingly appropriated, better understood, and more suitably expressed (GS, …

Aptep In The Islamic City Of Marawi, Renato Taib Oliveros
Aptep In The Islamic City Of Marawi, Renato Taib Oliveros
Asia Pacific Mission Studies
In August 2022, the Asia Pacific Theological Encounter Programme (APTEP) sent ten (10) Jesuit scholastics from Arrupe House to Mindanao to live life with Muslims in the Islamic City of Marawi. For the scholastics, it would be a revisit to the 1850-1950 Jesuit mission in Dansalan before it was renamed to Marawi in 1956. In 1923, Dansalan got its first residentpriest with the arrival of Father Joseph Reith, SJ. He started and eventually completed the construction of the parish church dedicated to Maria Auxiliadora in 1934. He was appointed, thereafter, as its first parish priest. For the scholastics visiting the …
Indigenous Communities In Distress: Religious Deluge And Church Deflection In Solomon Islands, David Welchman Gegeo
Indigenous Communities In Distress: Religious Deluge And Church Deflection In Solomon Islands, David Welchman Gegeo
Asia Pacific Mission Studies
The five pillars of Christianity in Solomon Islands since the 1800s are: the Anglican Church of Melanesian, Catholic Church, South-seas Evangelical Church, Methodist Church and the Seventh Day Adventist Church (hereafter “the Church”). Despite differences in institutional structure and dogma, the five pillars coexisted well which started to unhinge following Solomon Islands independence in 1978 when rural and urban squatters' communities were deluged by new opportunistic churches and religious sects from overseas. The deluge triggered church deflection in which large communities abandoned the Church and joined the new brands of Christianity and religious sects causing interdenominational animosity and cultural and …
A Proposal: The Role Of Federation Of Asian Bishops' Conferences For An Asian Peace Community, Hyunju Shim
A Proposal: The Role Of Federation Of Asian Bishops' Conferences For An Asian Peace Community, Hyunju Shim
Asia Pacific Mission Studies
FABC emphasizes triple dialogue with the poor, Asian cultures and religions, as a way to evangelize Asia. These dialogues can greatly contribute to the creation of a peaceful community in Asia. The Asian Peace Community is a project to create a new Asia, that hasn't been done yet. First, in order to develop effective pastoral activities within the church, the vast region operates in several small centers. Second, when Asian countries speak of a political, security and economic community, the church should refer to the human rights community. Human rights are the ultimate goal of peace. Therefore, we need to …

The Obligation Of The Bishop To Implement The Requirements Of Justice Regarding The Abuse Of Minors And Vulnerable By Clerics In His Diocese, Nchumbonga George Lekelefac
Asia Pacific Mission Studies
The diocesan bishop has the irrevocable canonical responsibility, obligation and commitment in implementing the requirements of justice regarding the abuse of minors and the vulnerable by clerics in his diocese. Two years after the first edition, the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith published a second version of the “Vademecum on Certain Points of Procedure in Treating Cases of Sexual Abuse of Minors Committed by Clerics” on 27 June 2022. The aforementioned Dicastery announced in a statement that the new version will build upon the 2020 Vademecum developed by the Dicastery to assist bishops, or any person in authority, …
Fethullah Gülen: A Man With A Mission, Victor Edwin Sj
Fethullah Gülen: A Man With A Mission, Victor Edwin Sj
Asia Pacific Mission Studies
“Are Fethullah Gülen and the Hizmet (service) community friends or foes?’ I must answer that they are our friends. They are the kind of Muslim interlocutors for an active dialogue which we have been searching for since the time of Nostra Aetate.” With these words Fr. Tom Michel, SJ introduced the present writer to the members of the Hizmet movement in Delhi. Fethullah Gülen is a Turkish scholar and teacher of the Holy Qur'an, who has inspired a global movement of millions of individuals to dedicate themselves to literacy, social enterprise, and interreligious dialogue to build peace in the world. …
The Church's Mission Of Dialogue In The Digital Age, Anthony Le Duc Svd
The Church's Mission Of Dialogue In The Digital Age, Anthony Le Duc Svd
Asia Pacific Mission Studies
The development of Internet Communication Technology (ICT) has led the world into a new context with social, philosophical, and theological implications. It also presents missionary challenges that demand due response from Church leaders and members. This paper explores the nature of the present context and the ramifications that this milieu holds for the Catholic Church and the Church's relationship with other religions. Close examination indicates that the digital age characterized by exponential increase in knowledge production, heightened sense of enclavism, and difficult to control disinformation about religions and religious matters places society at great risks for interreligious misunderstanding and conflict. …

Thomas O'Shaughnessy, Sj & Fazlur Rahman: The Incarnation In The Qur'Ān, Renato T. Oliveros Phd
Asia Pacific Mission Studies
The Incarnation of Jesus Christ (Eisa al-Masih), a central Christian doctrine that the eternal “Word became flesh” is confirmed in the Qur'ān as the Logos named the Christ (Q. 3:45). The Spirit (Ruh) in Surah 19, and the Word (Christ) in Surah 3 confirm the Incarnation narrative in the Gospels of Luke 1 and John 1. In the spirit of Ignatius’ openness to extra-Biblical sources in the Spiritual Exercises (SPEX), Qur’ānic sources can be integrated in the Ignatian contemplation on the Incarnation. O’Shaughnessy and F. Rahman argue that the Rūḥ al-qudus ( القدس روح , “Holy Spirit”) is not the …

Rites–Christian And Non-Christian–In A Cosmic Liturgy Of Fraternity, Nihal Abeyasingha
Rites–Christian And Non-Christian–In A Cosmic Liturgy Of Fraternity, Nihal Abeyasingha
Asia Pacific Mission Studies
The present article starts from the Past-Present-Future dimensions of sacraments, to which Vagaggini has added the moral-dispositive element (commitment). These four dimensions within the Christian perspective can be analysed as (1) anamnesis, presentation of gifts and persons, (2) epiclesis, invoking Spirit to transform gifts and weld together persons, (3) eschatology, and (4) theosis. When applied in a non-Christian environment, one can expand these four elements in terms of (1) narration (memory), (2) presentation of themselves through whatever gestures, (3) fulfillment/maturation and, (4) generativity. Through this analysis, one can speak of even non-Christians being united in a cosmic liturgy in the …

Thirty Years After Pcp Ii: Community Pantries And The Vision Of A Church Of The Poor, Kenjie I. Cortez
Asia Pacific Mission Studies
This paper is an attempt to explore the implications of communion in the summaries in Acts 2:42; 4:32-35 in relation to PCP II's vision of a Church renewed. It also puts forward the possibility of looking at the socalled community pantries as viable means to our ongoing reception of PCP II's vision of a Church as a Church of the Poor.

The “Oil And Wine” Of A Better Kind Of Politics, Cesare Sposetti Sj
The “Oil And Wine” Of A Better Kind Of Politics, Cesare Sposetti Sj
Asia Pacific Mission Studies
This essay aims to show how the rise of populist phenomena is a contemporary “sign of the times” that the Catholic Church must attend to carefully, in order to respond adequately while drawing from the rich treasure of her social teaching, with a particular attention to Pope Francis’ last Encyclical Fratelli tutti. The application of such an approach to the current Italian context proposes a concrete analysis of and a Catholic response to populism.
The Holy Spirit As The Power Of Diversity: A Pneumatology Of Religious Pluralism, Peter C. Phan
The Holy Spirit As The Power Of Diversity: A Pneumatology Of Religious Pluralism, Peter C. Phan
Asia Pacific Mission Studies
In celebration of the quincentennial of the arrival of Christianity in the Philippines, this essay discusses how religious diversity and pluralism can be reconciled with the Christian belief in Jesus as the Savior. I begin by examining the diverse ways in which the Holy Spirit works in the world according to the Hebrew Scripture, the Synoptic Gospels, Acts 2: 1-13, and Paul and by drawing on the document The Holy Spirit at Work in Asia of the Federation of Asian Bishops’ Conferences. Next, the essay examines how Jesus and the Spirit function autonomously, albeit not independently, from each other by …
The Irrevocable Ecumenical Responsibility, Obligation And Commitment Of The Bishop, Nchumbonga George Lekelefac
The Irrevocable Ecumenical Responsibility, Obligation And Commitment Of The Bishop, Nchumbonga George Lekelefac
Asia Pacific Mission Studies
The irrevocable commitment, urgent obligation and responsibility of the bishop to foster ecumenism in pastoral ministry today in his diocese in congruence with the Code of Canon Law 755 and the most recent document of the Pontifical Council for Promoting Christian Unity entitled “The Bishop and Christian Unity: an Ecumenical Vademecum” is of primordial and utmost capital importance in the Catholic Church. This recent document on ecumenism, in congruence with the Second Vatican Council, (1962–65), the 21st ecumenical council of the Roman Catholic Church, which was convocated by Pope John XXIII on January 25, 1959, as a means of spiritual …
Pope Francis’ Scriptural Understanding Of The Nature And Implications Of God’S Mercy, Ramil Marcos
Pope Francis’ Scriptural Understanding Of The Nature And Implications Of God’S Mercy, Ramil Marcos
Asia Pacific Mission Studies
Fittingly called the Pope of Mercy, Pope Francis has embraced the message of God’s mercy in his own life and ministry. He enthusiastically proclaimed this truth from the moment he began his role as universal pastor of the Catholic Church. Pope Francis celebrated the Year of Mercy with a combination of actions and words that conveyed the importance of God’s love in our personal and communal life as Christians. Pope Francis believed that the primary proclamation must be rooted in the mercy of the Father flowing through the Son and the Holy Spirit. Mercy received becomes mercy shared. People should …

New Ecological Equilibrium: A Perspective For Our Long Conversion Journey, P. Wiryono Priyotamtama Sj
New Ecological Equilibrium: A Perspective For Our Long Conversion Journey, P. Wiryono Priyotamtama Sj
Asia Pacific Mission Studies
Through the encyclical letter Laudato Si’, Pope Francis launched integral ecology as a new paradigm to solve the global ecological crises. The most fundamental challenge identified was that the awareness of the fact that everything is connected should be chosen by those who are trusted to design pastoral leadership formation within the Church to implement the above new paradigm. In line with the spirit of Laudato Si’, awareness should be understood as the opening of mind, heart, and will that will enable the development of new convictions, attitudes, and forms of life toward creating a new equilibrium. In this paper, …
Preventive Measures Against The Sexual Abuse Of Minors And Vulnerable Adults In Pastoral Ministry Today, Nchumbonga George Lekelefac
Preventive Measures Against The Sexual Abuse Of Minors And Vulnerable Adults In Pastoral Ministry Today, Nchumbonga George Lekelefac
Asia Pacific Mission Studies
The current context regarding the efficient protection of minors and the attentiveness to ensure their human and spiritual development, in line with the dignity of the human person, are indispensable parts of the Gospel message. The Church and all her members are called to it. The need for an awareness of preventive measures against the sexual abuse of minors and of the vulnerable in pastoral ministry is of absolute importance. This article seeks to raise such an awareness of this crucial topic among the clergy, religious, and lay faithful who are directly or indirectly involved in pastoral ministry in the …

Building Pastoral Capacity In The Post-Pandemic Era Alongside Of “Human Fraternity”, Greg Soetomo Sj
Building Pastoral Capacity In The Post-Pandemic Era Alongside Of “Human Fraternity”, Greg Soetomo Sj
Asia Pacific Mission Studies
A great number of people have expressed their admiration for the document on “Human Fraternity for World Peace and Living Together” (HF). One of the comments that is commonly heard is, “We will use this document as a guide to build and strengthen good and vibrant interfaith and intercultural relations.” This desire for better relations is validated by a statement in the paper itself: “It is a document that invites all persons who have faith in God and faith in human fraternity to unite and work together so that it may serve as a guide for future generations to advance …
