Transforming the Deep-Rooted Conflicts Between Transforming the Deep-rooted Conflicts Between Diaspora Sinhalese and Tamil Roman Catholics in Toronto: A Forgiveness Framework Based on the Theology of Miroslav Volf Mangalam Lena Thesis submitted to the Faculty of Theology, Saint Paul University, in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctorate in Ministry Ottawa, Canada January 2018 @ Mangalam Lena, Ottawa, Canada, 2018 i Transforming the Deep-rooted Conflicts between Diaspora Sinhalese and Tamil Roman Catholics in Toronto: A Forgiveness Framework Based on the Theology of Miroslav Volf For my parents, Sebastian Manuel and Gloria Lena It was my father’s devotion, determination and discipline, and my mother’s enduring spirit and unconditional forgiveness that inspired and motivated me to pursue this topic of forgiveness. My parents, their children and grand-children suffered the consequences of the civil war in Sri Lanka and were fortunate in that they were able to leave the country. But to all those who suffered and lost their lives, and to those who are still struggling to rebuild their lives, I dedicate this research. May this work be an instrument of peace to build bridges between the ethnic communities of the Sinhalese and the Tamils, in Sri Lanka, Canada and other parts of the world. ii Transforming the Deep-rooted Conflicts between Diaspora Sinhalese and Tamil Roman Catholics in Toronto: A Forgiveness Framework Based on the Theology of Miroslav Volf Abstract Having observed the division between the diaspora Sri Lankan Sinhalese and Tamil Catholics in Toronto, my call to ministry came out of a deep concern for them and their children. The problem as I saw it was a superficial (ritualistic) religion and a lack of understanding of forgiveness, which seemed to perpetuate the conflict. My call to ministry prompted me to develop and engage in educational processes that aimed to encourage personal transformation to address this problem. Pope Francis, in his Evangelii Gaudium, said: “Genuine spiritual accompaniment always begins and flourishes in the context of service to the mission of evangelisation.” The Sri Lankan ethnic conflict between the majority Sinhalese and the minority Tamils has a long history. The civil war that began in Sri Lanka in 1983 ended in 2009 with the genocide of Tamil civilians. Thousands had left the country and taken refuge in different parts of the world. One of the countries that welcomed many Sri Lankan refugees was Canada. The majority of the refugees settled in Toronto. Tamil refugees lived alongside Sinhalese immigrants, but each group had its own separate community life. These two ethnic groups were divided not only in Toronto, but also in other cities, such as Ottawa and Montreal. The problem was that the Sri Lankan diaspora Sinhalese and Tamil Catholics in Toronto could not come together to celebrate the Eucharist or participate in other religious activities together because of the legacy of the civil war. The Tamils wanted the Sri Lankan government to acknowledge accountability for the crimes committed against their community, and the Sinhalese blamed the Tamils for having caused the civil war. In spite of their common Catholic faith, iii Transforming the Deep-rooted Conflicts between Diaspora Sinhalese and Tamil Roman Catholics in Toronto: A Forgiveness Framework Based on the Theology of Miroslav Volf neither group was able to forgive the other in order to heal and move on. It seemed their ethnic identities superseded their religious faith. My hypothesis is that the teaching Miroslav Volf’s concept of forgiveness, could open up avenues to motivate personal transformation, and that this will in turn helps to resolve the deep- rooted conflict between the diaspora Sinhalese and Tamil Catholics. Throughout this thesis I argue that forgiveness is complex but possible and desirable. To be human is to be relational; it is important to be able to live in harmony and to communicate. I apply the theology of Volf because he himself struggled to forgive his oppressor and succeeded. I myself have taken a similar journey, challenging my biases and preconceived notions to open myself up to the path of transformation. The methodology is based on Richard Osmer’s model of practical theological interpretation. It is by its very nature interdisciplinary, and seeks to bring a religious dimension to bear on a situation in a way that leads to critical and transformative dialogue. Practical theology is not only interconnected with other disciplines, but is also related to the web of life in which ministry takes place. The thesis is guided by the four core tasks of practical theology as described by Osmer: What is going on? Why is this going on? What ought to be going on? and How might we respond? The data has been gathered using a questionnaire, one-on-one interviews and two focus group sessions. An equal number of participants from the two ethnic groups were given a teaching on forgiveness based on Volf. The questionnaire was administered before and after the teaching, and the responses were analysed to discover whether there was a change in the understanding of forgiveness pre- and post-teaching. Results showed that there was significant iv Transforming the Deep-rooted Conflicts between Diaspora Sinhalese and Tamil Roman Catholics in Toronto: A Forgiveness Framework Based on the Theology of Miroslav Volf transformation for the majority of the participants. However, the study has only been conducted once, and would need to be replicated in order to confirm the findings. v Transforming the Deep-rooted Conflicts between Diaspora Sinhalese and Tamil Roman Catholics in Toronto: A Forgiveness Framework Based on the Theology of Miroslav Volf Table of Contents Abstract ......................................................................................................................................... iii Introduction ....................................................................................................................................1 Chapter 1: Call to Ministry and Practical Theology: The Statement of the Problem ............9 1.1 Presenting the Issue ..............................................................................................................11 1.2 Call to Ministry ....................................................................................................................12 1.3 Method in Practical Theology ..............................................................................................17 Chapter 2: Sri Lankan Historical Context: Diaspora Sinhalese and Tamil Roman Catholics in Toronto .....................................................................................................................................23 2.1 Sinhalese and Tamil Diaspora in Canada .............................................................................23 2.2 Sinhalese Diaspora Catholics (SDC) and Tamil Diaspora Catholics (TDC) in Toronto and Their Relationship ......................................................................................................................25 2.3 Religion in the Sri Lankan Historical Context .....................................................................31 The Early Historical Period From the Third Century BC to the Sixth Century AD ..............31 The Medieval Period ..............................................................................................................33 The Colonial Period (1505–1948) ..........................................................................................34 The Portuguese Period (1505–1658) .................................................................................35 The Dutch Period (1648–1796) .........................................................................................37 The British Period (1796–1948) ........................................................................................39 2.4 The Influence of Buddhism in Sri Lanka .............................................................................41 Conclusion ..................................................................................................................................44 Chapter 3: The Religious Dimension of Sri Lankan Conflict ..................................................45 3.1 Introduction of Catholicism Under the Portuguese Period (1505–1658) .............................45 3.2 Significant Political, Social and Religious Events During the Dutch Period (1658–1796) .50 3.3 Significant Political, Social and Religious Events During the British Period (1796–1948) 53 3.4 Significant Political, Social and Religious Events After Independence (1948–1983) .........60 3.5 Civil War (1983–2009) ........................................................................................................67 3.6 Post-war (2009) to the Present .............................................................................................69 Conclusion ..................................................................................................................................75 Chapter 4: Sri Lankan Religious Conflict as Deep-rooted Conflict ........................................76 vi Transforming the Deep-rooted Conflicts between Diaspora Sinhalese and Tamil Roman Catholics in Toronto: A Forgiveness Framework Based on the Theology of Miroslav Volf 4.1 Deep-rooted Conflict ...........................................................................................................76 Human Needs: Burton’s Pioneer Work .................................................................................79

  • Rearticulations of Enmity and Belonging in Postwar Sri Lanka
    BUDDHIST NATIONALISM AND CHRISTIAN EVANGELISM: REARTICULATIONS OF ENMITY AND BELONGING IN POSTWAR SRI LANKA by Neena Mahadev A dissertation submitted to Johns Hopkins University in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Baltimore, Maryland October, 2013 © 2013 Neena Mahadev All Rights Reserved Abstract: Based on two years of fieldwork in Sri Lanka, this dissertation systematically examines the mutual skepticism that Buddhist nationalists and Christian evangelists express towards one another in the context of disputes over religious conversion. Focusing on the period from the mid-1990s until present, this ethnography elucidates the shifting politics of nationalist perception in Sri Lanka, and illustrates how Sinhala Buddhist populists have increasingly come to view conversion to Christianity as generating anti-national and anti-Buddhist subjects within the Sri Lankan citizenry. The author shows how the shift in the politics of identitarian perception has been contingent upon several critical events over the last decade: First, the death of a Buddhist monk, which Sinhala Buddhist populists have widely attributed to a broader Christian conspiracy to destroy Buddhism. Second, following the 2004 tsunami, massive influxes of humanitarian aid—most of which was secular, but some of which was connected to opportunistic efforts to evangelize—unsettled the lines between the interested religious charity and the disinterested secular giving. Third, the closure of 25 years of a brutal war between the Sri Lankan government forces and the ethnic minority insurgent group, the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE), has opened up a slew of humanitarian criticism from the international community, which Sinhala Buddhist populist activists surmise to be a product of Western, Christian, neo-colonial influences.

    1 2 THE NATIONAL CHRISTIAN COUNCIL OF SRI LANKA ANNUAL REPORT 2012-13 An ecumenical pilgrimage… with the God of life 3 4 An Ecumenical Pilgrimage ...with the God of Life We believe in a living God, a God who lives and enables all living beings to exist, a God who is the source of life, a God who assures fullness of life and bestows on us the possibility of eternal life. We believe in a God who creates and sustains life, a God who affirms life. Human life therefore is sacred, because human life came into being through the very breath of God, which indicates the ultimate possibility of a closer relationship between God and humans. In the life and ministry of Jesus we find that death is defeated on the cross along with all agents of death. Death is the denial of life. The defeat of death is the affirmation of life, which is assured, experienced and made possible through the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ. The proclamation of the risen Lord, is actually a proclamation that death is defeated, the agents of death overcome, and that eternal life and abundant life is a possibility for every human being. This is clearly summed up in the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, ... I came that they may have life and have it abundantly” (Jn 10:10) and “I give them eternal life, and they will never perish...” (Jn 10:28). The final vision of the Reign of God is portrayed in the image of the river of life and the tree of life (Rev.

Yet with its Judeo-Christian roots, to what extent does it apply to Asian 19 countries that have different religious traditions? In this article, we explore whether the covenant 20 connection thesis is relevant to Asian federalism in the context of Muslim-, Hindu-, and Buddhist- 21 majority countries. We find that while the presence or absence of a covenantal tradition within a 22 religion can partially explain acceptance of, or resistance to, federalism, there are other religious features that also play a role. These include the extent to which traditional religious organizations 23 are internally centralized, the extent to which religion and state governance are intertwined or 24 separate from each other, and the extent to which a religion that constitutes the core national 25 identity is threatened by other religions that are or may be empowered by federal arrangements. 26 27 28 Keywords 29 comparative federalism, covenant connection, religious traditions, federalism in Asia, religious perspective on federalism 30 31 Accepted: 23 August 2017 32 33 34 35 Introduction 36 In Asia, the correlations between religions and federalism are puzzling and reveal some 37 striking patterns.
