For me, India is such a place. When I first visited, I was stunned by the richness of the land, by its lush beauty and exotic architecture, by its ability to overload the senses with the pure, concentrated intensity of its colors, smells, tastes, and sounds.

    www.goajesuits.com Vol. 29, No. 10, October 2020 Grateful hearts and New Fire in the Vineyard In the midst of these difficult times, we celebrate the calling of five of our province men who will be ordained this year—Raul and Steven on 17 October at Milagres Church in Khanapur, and Lindsay, Menoy, and Nigel on 30 December at the Basilica of Bom Jesus in Old Goa. While we may not be able to be physically present for these ordinations (owing to govt. restrictions), I request all province members to set aside time to follow the ordinations online (or together on your community TV) and support our men with your prayers. Every now and then the Vineyard also needs New Fire—a fire that purifies and a fire that enkindles other fires. Soon you will have two new booklets in your hands—the Province Apostolic Plan 2020 and the Goa Province Policy for Protection of Minors and Vulnerable Adults from Sexual Abuse and Harassment (2020). The PAP document will provide us with a direction and yet, we are flexible, allowing the Holy Spirit to guide us at all times. The Protection Policy provides us with an opportunity to create safe, healthy, and happy environments for all those with whom we work. Despite the challenges of these times, many of our Jesuits worked hard to ensure that these two guiding documents were published so that we approach our mission with renewed enthusiasm. I encourage all to read them carefully, make your own notes in the margins, and use them well.

  • The Organs of Goa, India
    The Organs of Goa, India Paper delivered by David Rumsey Conference in Mafra, Portugal, December 1994 In considering the broader aspects of Portugal's organ culture, in particular the activities of the navigators and those who followed them, we need to ask whether the export of organs was ever a significant part of her colonisation processes. We may think of South America or even the Philippines in this connection, where Spain left such obvious and well-known musical testaments to her wealth and religious culture. We may also think of geographically-transferred organ cultures, through colonialism, that have even helped in the preservation of some organ types - for example Victorian English organs now preserved in Australia. Portugal was present in South America, Africa, and had important smaller colonies, among them, Macao, Timor, Goa, Daman and Diu. To begin to answer this question it is therefore relevant to investigate the number, kind, and condition of surviving organs in Goa and whether Portuguese instruments ever existed there. We may also find some secondary clues through observing the region's existing church music culture. Goa is situated 250 Km south of Bombay in India. It is about 60 Km North to South and 30 Km East to West, mostly flat country, broken mainly by two major river systems: the Mandovi and the Zuari. Panajim is the capital city1. Indian and Portuguese food, music and language are now generally blended in a culture designated as "Konkani". Other traditions coexist, for example Hindu music is taught to high standards at the Swami Vivekananda music school in Panajim2.
