ABSTRACT Although the media and the public generally take it for granted that the U.S. migration crisis, especially the case of the undocumented migrants, is a Latinx problem, one should not overlook that the number of unauthorized immigrants from nations other than Mexico (especially from Asia) has grown since 2009. Despite this new trend, there have seldom been any scholarly works on how Asian American Christian communities should offer pastoral care to their undocumented neighbors among themselves. The purpose of this paper is to provide a pastoral theological framework for Asian American churches and their leaders so that they might become better pastoral caregivers and advocates to the rising number of undocumented people within their communities. In doing so, this paper first analyzes how the sociocultural ideology of ‘model minority’ prevents the Asian American communities from being open and inclusive. It, then, explores how the ideology should be replaced by a theological idea of ‘radical hospitality.’

ABSTRACT This article describes the need for effectively addressing the experience of microaggressions in the classroom. It explores the concept of microaggressions and their impact through the perspective of professors from marginalized populations and outlines a strategy for addressing microaggressions so that the classroom can be a place that fosters education, transformation, and healing. Finally, by intentionally engaging and addressing microaggressions, the pastoral classroom explicitly reclaims the classroom as a space that resists oppression and values of the acts of confession, atonement, and redemption.

ABSTRACT The uncritical appropriation of Eurocentric philosophical and theological paradigms is detrimental to disenfranchised communities of color. This article argues for a methodology rooted in the hopelessness found within marginalized communities of color. Advocating for an ethics para joder (screw with) disrupts a normative Eurocentric discourse which normalizes and legitimizes Empire.

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。

Violence and injustice are being levied against immigrant groups, black and brown bodies, and LBGTQ+ persons in the current sociopolitical environment. A kind of reactionary terror has taken on a greater intensity over the last several years, and is being normalized and justified as an effort to restore law andorder, giving a rise to a political slogan such as ‘MakeAmerica great again.’Pastoral theologians question what it means to be living in an age of terror andwhat it means to care for souls and our polis. Aptly, the theme of the 2019 study conference of Society for Pastoral Theology (SPT) held in Denver, Colorado from June 12–15 was Resistance and Resilience in an Age of Terror: Care of Souls, Care of Polis. The plenaries, work-in-progress, and workshops in this conference highlighted scholarship and theological praxis that centered on personal/communal resilience and resistance to terror. An important feature of the 2019 study conference was an immersion experience to the Greater Denver Interfaith Alliance (GDIA), a nonprofit organization under the leadership of Dr. Carroll Watkins Ali. In this excursion, members were able to witness and experience a firsthand example of the kind of resistance and praxis that is possible in relation to the care of souls in the current sociopolitical environment. Dr. Mary Moschella was an invited ethnographer of the 2019 study conference, providing an overview of the immersion activities and experience. According to Moschella, the visit to the GDIA offered a compelling example of the integration of theory and praxis. Reminding pastoral theologians of our accountability to those who are suffering and/or exist at themargin,Moschella claims, ‘if we are called to care and to promote resistance and resilience, this experience demonstrated both how it can be done and that it can be done.’ Informed by his work in Embracing Hopelessness, Dr. Miguel De La Torre poses a provocative question to the participants of SPT: Can pastoral theology celebrate hopelessness? Outlining a history of abuses perpetuated against Black and Latinx bodies, by the western medical profession and society at large, De La Torre establishes a prima facia case for mistrust of the western Eurocentric establishment. He is ‘convinced that the production of all Eurocentric philosophical thought – across academic disciplines – are oppressive and repressive to those of us who occupy colonized spaces.’ De La Torre invites pastoral theologians to consider if their commonplace usage of the concept of hope is in fact doing more to undermine (than assist) the overall pastoral theological project. Examining the history of abuses perpetuated against Black and Latinx bodies by the western Eurocentric polis, and given that the guild of pastoral theology is also a production – in large part – of Eurocentric philosophical thought, De La Torre invites us to consider his concept of hopelessness as a redemptive praxis. De La Torre is positing hopelessness over and
在当前的社会政治环境中，针对移民群体、黑人和棕色人群、LBGTQ+群体的暴力和不公正正在被征收。在过去的几年里，一种反动的恐怖活动愈演愈烈，并被正常化和合理化为恢复法律和秩序的努力，从而产生了“让美国再次伟大”这样的政治口号。田园神学家质疑生活在一个恐怖的时代意味着什么，以及关心灵魂和我们的城邦意味着什么。恰好，6月12日至15日在科罗拉多州丹佛市举行的2019年牧灵神学学会(SPT)研究会议的主题是“恐怖时代的抵抗与韧性:灵魂的关怀，Polis的关怀”。本次会议的全体会议、正在进行的工作和研讨会突出了以个人/社区的韧性和对恐怖的抵抗为中心的学术和神学实践。2019年学习会议的一个重要特点是对大丹佛跨信仰联盟(GDIA)的沉浸式体验，这是卡罗尔·沃特金斯·阿里博士领导的非营利组织。在这次旅行中，成员们能够亲眼目睹和体验到在当前社会政治环境中可能与灵魂关怀有关的那种抵抗和实践的第一手例子。玛丽·莫舍拉(Mary Moschella)博士是2019年研究会议的特邀民族志学家，概述了浸入式活动和体验。根据Moschella的说法，对GDIA的访问提供了一个理论与实践相结合的引人注目的例子。提醒牧区神学家我们对那些受苦和/或生活在边缘的人的责任，Moschella声称，“如果我们被召唤去关心和促进抵抗和恢复，这个经历表明了它是如何做到的，它是可以做到的。”在《拥抱绝望》一书中，米格尔·德·拉·托雷博士向SPT的参与者提出了一个具有挑衅性的问题:教牧神学能歌颂绝望吗?De La Torre概述了西方医学界和整个社会长期虐待黑人和拉丁人身体的历史，初步证明了对以西欧为中心的机构的不信任。他确信，所有以欧洲为中心的哲学思想的产生——跨越学科——对我们这些占据殖民空间的人来说是压迫和压抑的。De La Torre邀请牧灵神学家考虑他们对希望概念的普遍使用实际上是否更多地破坏(而不是帮助)整个牧灵神学项目。考察了以西欧为中心的城邦对黑人和拉丁人的虐待历史，并考虑到牧灵神学公会在很大程度上也是以欧洲为中心的哲学思想的产物，De La Torre邀请我们将他的绝望概念视为一种救赎实践。De La Torre将绝望置于希望之上，并将其作为“一种推动边缘化人群采取具体行动的方法”。Leanna Fuller博士对De La Torre做出了牧灵神学的回应。富勒认为，虽然牧灵神学领域(或任何其他行会)被以欧洲为中心的解释不当地告知，但这并不一定意味着所有牧灵神学家都赞同德拉托雷在他的项目中概述的对希望的有害理解。对富勒来说，这将忽略过去几十年里牧区神学家所做的重要学术研究和工作——黑人神学、女性主义神学、后殖民神学和许多其他旨在挑战霸权意识形态的资源。然而，在她的回应中，虽然富勒认识到从人类生活经验开始教牧神学反思的方法论承诺，但她挑战公会问自己:“谁的生活经历最常被认为值得神学探究?”这样一个挑衅性的问题

ABSTRACT This article describes an immersion experience, part of the program of the Annual Meeting of the Society for Pastoral Theology (SPT) in 2019. SPT meeting participants were invited to visit the Greater Denver Interfaith Alliance (GDIA), a collaborative faith-based organization located in downtown Denver. Pastoral theologian Doctor Carroll Watkins Ali, a Society member, together with Imam Abdur-Rahim Ali, Imam of Masjid Taqwa – the Northeast Denver Islamic Center – hosted and led the program. The author narrates the immersion experience, recounting the substance of the panel presentations and the ensuing questions and discussion. She includes photographs and comments contributed by members of SPT who responded to an invitation to share their reflections. GDIA models a collaborative approach to prophetic, multi-faith ministries that promotes the survival and liberation of African Americans and other at-risk populations in the greater Denver area.

ABSTRACT This article was presented as a plenary address at the June 2019 annual conference of the Society for Pastoral Theology in Denver, Colorado. Building on Ryan LaMothe's work, the author posits that the criminalization of Mexican people can be understood as a contemporary case of disidentification. The author argues that one way of counteracting this disidentification is to accompany people of color with compassion and a spirit of solidarity. To illustrate his point, he reflects on his own case as a graduate student of color and on the significance of his relationships with his mentor, Robert C. Dykstra.

ABSTRACT The quilt is a metaphor for the history, present work, and ongoing scholarship of the Society for Pastoral Theology. Pastoral theology, like quilting, is a craft of collaboration, collegiality, creativity, challenge, and care. Three generations of scholars have nurtured the community of the SPT, and that community continues through communal narrative theology.
