  • MARY JOSEPH ROGERS Mother Mary Joseph Rogers Founded the Maryknoll Sisters, the First American-Based Catholic Foreign Missions Society for Women
    MARY JOSEPH ROGERS Mother Mary Joseph Rogers founded the Maryknoll Sisters, the first American-based Catholic foreign missions society for women. Mary Josephine Rogers, called “Mollie” by her family, was born Oct. 27, 1882, in Roxbury, Massachusetts. After graduating from Smith College, Northampton, Massachusetts, she earned her teaching certificate. Mary taught for several years at Smith College, followed by teaching assignments in several public elementary and high schools in the Boston area. Interest in Foreign Missions Mary was deeply impacted by the flourishing Protestant Student Volunteer Movement that was sending missionaries around the world. In 1908, due to her growing interest in missionary work, she began volunteering her time to assist Father James Walsh in writing and editing the Catholic Foreign Missionary Society of America’s magazine Field Afar, now known as Maryknoll. In September 1910 at the International Eucharistic Congress in Montreal, Canada, Mary realized she shared a passion to develop a foreign missions society based in the United States with Father Walsh and Father Thomas Frederick Price. As a result of this common vision, they founded the Maryknoll Mission Movement. Mary provided assistance to the group from Boston where she had family responsibilities before finally joining them in September 1912. She was given the formal name, “Mary Joseph.” She founded a lay group of women interested in missions known as the Teresians, named after the 16th Century Spanish Catholic nun St. Teresa of Avila. In 1913, both the male and female societies moved to Ossining, New York to a farm renamed “Maryknoll.” The pope recognized the work of the Teresians in 1920, allowing the growing society to be designated as a diocesan religious congregation, officially the Foreign Mission Sisters of St.

  • Theological Education and Participation in Global Mission
    Theological Education and Participation in Global Mission Israel Selvanayagam An Affirmation Let me start with a basic affirmation: whatever may be the side effects the primary purpose of theological education is creative and relevant participation in mission in all its dimensions. I am tempted to revise the starting lines of St Paul’s famous poem on love (1 Cor. 13). Accordingly, I may read and speak classical languages, but if I do not have a passionate commitment to mission, I am a sounding gong or a clanging cymbal. I may have the gift of textual analysis and hermeneutics and the knowledge of every philosophical truth; I may have more than one postgraduate degree in Theology; but if I have no inner urge to share the love of God in Christ with others, I am nothing. I may give all I possess to the needy, I may give my body to be burnt in struggles for justice and liberation, but if I have no regard for the salvation of the whole humanity and creation, I gain nothing by it. If this revision sends any clear signals, then we need to revise traditional understandings of theology and theological education. I don’t claim like Thomas Aquinas that ‘Theology is taught by God, teaches of God, and leads to God’. Theology is human talk or reasoning about God: not in the sense of ‘search after reality’ but that of ‘response to the historic reality of revelation’. Nor can I accept Anselm’s definition of theology as ‘faith seeking understanding’, because our two millennia of ‘seeking’ in this regard have not led us to a more clear understanding.

  • Missiological Reflections on the Maryknoll Centenary
    Missiological Reflections on the Maryknoll Centenary: Maryknoll Missiologists’ Colloquium, June 2011 This year Maryknoll celebrates its founding as the Catholic Foreign Mission Society of America. In the early 1900s, the idea of founding a mission seminary in the United States circulated among the members of the Catholic Missionary Union. Archbishop John Farley of New York had suggested the establishment of such a seminary, and also tried to entice the Paris Foreign Mission Society to open an American branch. Finally, two diocesan priests, Fathers James Anthony Walsh and Thomas Frederick Price, having gained a mandate to create a mission seminary from the archbishops of the United States, travelled to Rome and received Pope Pius X’s permission to do so. The date was June 29, 1911, the Feast of Saints Peter and Paul. In the years since, well over a thousand Maryknoll priests and Brothers have gone on mission to dozens of countries throughout the world. Many died young in difficult missions, and not a few have shed their blood for Christ. This is a time to celebrate the glory given by Christ to His relatively young Society. The main purpose of this event, though, is not to glory in our past. We celebrate principally to fulfill the burning desire of our founders, in words enshrined over the main entrance of the Seminary building, Euntes Docete Omnes Gentes, “Go and teach all nations” (Matthew 28:19). Nearly twenty centuries after Christ gave this command, the Church, during the Second Vatican Council, again defined this as the fundamental purpose of mission, being “sent out by the Church and going forth into the whole world, to carry out the task of preaching the Gospel and planting the Church among peoples or groups who do not yet believe in Christ” (Ad Gentes, 6).

  • Wesleyan Resources for a Contemporary Theology of the Poor?
    WESLEYAN RESOURCES FOR A CONTEMPORARY THEOLOGY OF THE POOR? RANDY L. M ADDOX Recent years have witnessed epochal and unforeseeable changes in the politi- cal situation of the Northern hemisphere- the reunification of Germany, the collapse of the Soviet Union, the fracturing of former Soviet satellites, and broad-scale rejection of nationalist communism. It is sometimes S'llggested that these changes totally discredit what has come to be ca lled Liberation Theology. But while they do raise serious questions about some of the specific solutions proposed by certain liberation theologians, they have hardly eliminated the problems that spawned liberation theology in the first place. Indeed , there appears to be a widening gap at present between rich and poor in several nations, between developed (or overdeveloped! ) nations and the developing nations, and between the culturally elite and the culturally marginalized. For those of us in the Wesleyan theological traditions this situation sounds strangely reminiscent of the social context within which the original Methodist revival arose. Thus, there is good reason for asking whether there are resources in our tradition for relating the Good News of God's salvific love to this critical dimension of our current situation.' Other studies have focused attention on some of the characteristic Wesleyan convictions and practices that are very rele- vant to this issue. 2 The topic that I want to direct attention to deals not with such "content" of a Wesleyan theology, but with its method. As liberation theologies found their voices among the world's poor and mar- ginalized, their early questions often focused on specific doctrinal claims of the dominant Christian theological traditions.

The assumption being that a goal like „evangelization of this world in one generation“ could be a common, feasible and practical short- term aim and „Christian forces“ around would be enough to be assembled for that purpose. It also was the still unchallenged assumption that countries in the East and the South had to gradually adapt and be upgraded to the systems of civilization, Christianization and education which were developed in the „Christian west“ (two different messages!) • New attention to the importance of education: Key concept of „moral

  • Relevant and Effective Theological Education in the Twenty First Century India
    RELEVANT AND EFFECTIVE THEOLOGICAL EDUCATION IN THE TWENTY FIRST CENTURY INDIA . JOSHVA RAJA INTRODUCTION Theological education becomes relevant when theologians start interacting with, and challenging the ongoing ministiy in the world. In order to identify its effectiveness in twenty first century India, a broader discussion on its purpose, content and praxis should be initiated. In India there are more than 60 regional and national seminaries that are affiliated with the Senate of Serampore College. Recently we have held many discussions at the regional and national level on the content, form, method and praxis of theological education in India (2001-2002), As part of this ongoing discussion by the Asian theologians, I was asked to present a paper on this topic in the General Council of the United Theological College, Bangalore on 25th August 200 I. In this paper I made an attempt to highlight a number of issues in the pre- sent praxis of theological education in India and proposed a new system of interac- tive learning that might address some of the associated problems. The United Theological College offers integrated theological training with a high academic standard and at the same time provides programmes of study, devotional life and practical experience for men and women to prepare themselves for the different ministries to which they are called. The mission statement of the United Theological College affirms that the College "seeks to provide students with conceptual tools, spiritual discipline and practical skills which will equip them for a relevant ministry in the church and in society, responding critically to the religio- cultural heritage and socio-political-economic reality of India" 1 The purpose of 'theological education' is to equip men and women for the diverse ministries to which they are called.

  • The Church's Marines: Maryknollers Older, Fewer, but Still Going Strong
    The church’s Marines: Maryknollers older, fewer, but still going strong COCHABAMBA, Bolivia – Their numbers are down, their average age is up, and their last names are as likely to be Vu or Gonzalez as Kelly or O’Brien, but one thing that has not changed about Maryknoll priests and brothers in the past century is their commitment to live and work among the poor in distant lands and unfamiliar cultures. One of Maryknoll’s greatest contributions to Catholic mission has been “seeing and affirming the value and individual worth of all people and all cultures,” Father Raymond Finch, Maryknoll superior general from 1996 to 2002, told Catholic News Service. “That has been (true) from the beginning, whether it was in China or in Latin America, with indigenous cultures,” said Father Finch, 62, who currently directs the Maryknoll Mission Center in Cochabamba. “Especially seeing the contribution, the worth and the beauty in people who are on the margins and who have been hurt by society, the marginalized, the poor – that has been something that we have been blessed with.” The mission sites around the globe where Maryknoll priests and brothers work with refugees, AIDS patients, farmers, children and youth may not be what Fathers James Anthony Walsh and Thomas Frederick Price had in mind when they founded the Catholic Foreign Mission Society of America in June 1911 to send missionaries to China. The first priests arrived in China in 1918, and missions in Korea followed. Political upheaval in those countries forced Maryknollers to leave for a time, and the society expanded to Latin America in 1942 and Africa in 1946.
