Abstract
ABSTRACT This article responds to Miguel De La Torre's essay, “Embracing the Hopelessness of Those Seeking Pastoral Care,” which argues that the use of hope as a core concept in pastoral theology reinforces the white supremacy and Eurocentrism of the academy. In contrast, this article acknowledges that pastoral theology has been deeply shaped by white cultural norms, but contends that the discipline's commitments to lived experience and reflective practice create the conditions for new, more liberative understandings of hope to emerge.
摘要本文回应了Miguel De La Torre的文章《拥抱那些寻求牧师关怀的人的绝望》,该文章认为,在牧师神学中使用希望作为核心概念,强化了学院的白人至上主义和欧洲中心主义。相比之下,本文承认田园神学深受白人文化规范的影响,但认为该学科对生活经验和反思实践的承诺为对希望的新的、更自由的理解创造了条件。
