  • THE PHILIPPINES, 1942-1944 James Kelly Morningstar, Doctor of History
    ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: WAR AND RESISTANCE: THE PHILIPPINES, 1942-1944 James Kelly Morningstar, Doctor of History, 2018 Dissertation directed by: Professor Jon T. Sumida, History Department What happened in the Philippine Islands between the surrender of Allied forces in May 1942 and MacArthur’s return in October 1944? Existing historiography is fragmentary and incomplete. Memoirs suffer from limited points of view and personal biases. No academic study has examined the Filipino resistance with a critical and interdisciplinary approach. No comprehensive narrative has yet captured the fighting by 260,000 guerrillas in 277 units across the archipelago. This dissertation begins with the political, economic, social and cultural history of Philippine guerrilla warfare. The diverse Islands connected only through kinship networks. The Americans reluctantly held the Islands against rising Japanese imperial interests and Filipino desires for independence and social justice. World War II revealed the inadequacy of MacArthur’s plans to defend the Islands. The General tepidly prepared for guerrilla operations while Filipinos spontaneously rose in armed resistance. After his departure, the chaotic mix of guerrilla groups were left on their own to battle the Japanese and each other. While guerrilla leaders vied for local power, several obtained radios to contact MacArthur and his headquarters sent submarine-delivered agents with supplies and radios that tie these groups into a united framework. MacArthur’s promise to return kept the resistance alive and dependent on the United States. The repercussions for social revolution would be fatal but the Filipinos’ shared sacrifice revitalized national consciousness and created a sense of deserved nationhood. The guerrillas played a key role in enabling MacArthur’s return.

  • The Christian Year in Review Significant Events of 1994
    The Christian Year in Review Significant Events of 1994 Brendan Kelleher, SVD JANUARY 1 Pope John Paul II issues an Apostolic Letter Sociarium Scientarium formally estab­ lishing the Papal Academy for the Social Sciences. Among the social scientists from around the world appointed to the Academy are two Japanese, Murakami Yoichiro (Tokyo University) and Nojiri Taketoshi (Osaka Gakuin University.) 5 The Tokyo District of the Salvation Army announces the results of its Community Chest collection which was held over the holiday season. Down a further uS$30,000 from the previous year, the total collected came to $287,000. (Note: While the rel­ ative strength of the yen over against the dollar sees only a drop of $3,000 compared to last year's figures, when converted to dollars, the real value of the drop is near­ er to the figure given.) 11-21 As a follow-up to NICE I and NICE II, the Structural Reorganization Team of the Catholic Bishops' Conference of Japan, under the leadership of Bishop Mori Kazuhiro (Auxiliary Bishop of Tokyo), visited France and Germany to study meth­ ods and programs for the ongoing formation of the laity. 15 A NICE Young People's Network is formed as a follow-up to NICE II which had been criticized by many young people attending as delegates. Delegates from across the country gathered at the meeting at which the Network was formally launched. 13-16 Some 130,000 people gathered at Tokyo Dome during the four nights of the Billy Graham Tokyo International Revival. Some 1,120 Christian churches from across the country cooperated in the preparations for the revival at which some 12,000 signed pledge cards committing themselves to Jesus Christ.

  • Reconstruction, the Urakami Catholics, and Atomic Memory, 1945-1970
    Resurrecting Nagasaki: Reconstruction, the Urakami Catholics, and Atomic Memory, 1945-1970 Chad R. Diehl Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2011 © 2011 Chad Diehl All rights reserved. ABSTRACT Resurrecting Nagasaki Chad Diehl This dissertation traces the reconstruction of Nagasaki City after the atomic bombing of August 9, 1945 by concentrating on politics and religion. It follows the various people and groups who contributed to the city's rise from the ashes and shaped its image in Japan and the world. In contrast to Hiroshima, Nagasaki did not make its atomic tragedy the dominant theme of its postwar image, and instead strove to rebuild the city in the light of its past as a center of international trade and culture. The most influential group advocating the focus on "international culture" during the early postwar period was the Roman Catholic community of the northern Urakami Valley, which was ground zero. Although Hiroshima became synonymous with the atomic bomb in national and international discourse, Nagasaki followed its own path, one that illuminates the relationship between mass destruction, city history, religion, and historical remembrance. It is a story that sheds a different light on the atomic bombings and their aftermath, not only in comparison with Hiroshima but with other cities destroyed by area bombing and the course of their subsequent reconstruction.

Maria dell'Anima, 30 - 00186 Rome, Italy A Center conducted by the Franciscan Friars of the Atonement www.prounione.urbe.it Director's Desk The Spring issue of the Bulletin offers our readers two conferences that look at the various models of mission that have existed since the beginning of the spread of the Gospel. In 2010 we will celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Missionary Conference held at Edinburgh in 1910. In many respects this conference introduced us to the beginnings of the modern ecumenical movement and the concern for the spread of the Gospel to all peoples. Just as then, so now the churches are confronted with the serious handicap that the disunity of Christians poses to the ministry of the Proclamation of the Good News to all peoples in all cultures. Two extraordinary conferences were given by the Jesuit, James Duncan. The first deals with an ancient model of mission used by the Ancient Church of the East, sometimes referred to as the Nestorian church. What is interesting for our reflection is the method that this church used in evangelizing China, the sub continent of India and the far reaches of the extreme Orient.
