Korean missionary experience. A model for the third millennium
Series:
Author:
The three methods of doing mission, namely conquista, accommodation, kenosis need to be seen not so much as historical events that took place in a particular time and space, but rather as deeply engraved mind structures and personal attitudes as we confront many of the modern time issues such as mass poverty and its relationship to the churches, interreligious and ecumenical dialogue, relationship with Islam, Catholic education in public institutions, moral and ethical problems regarding the treatment of embryos for eugenic purposes, issues concerning the end of life, social debate on alternative lifestyles and the role of women in ecclesial institutions, to mention but a few.
Antton Egiguren Iraola is currently an associate professor at the Catholic University of Leuven in the department of Interdisciplinary Religious Studies. He is also director of the Ferdinand Verbiest Institute at the same university, which researches the history of the Catholic Church in China.
