Abstract The purpose of this paper is three-fold. First, it investigates how the historical and structural injustice has to do with the Central American migration crisis in the U. S. Second, this paper explores immense yet largely unrecognized socio-psychological trauma that forcibly separated migrant families, especially children and their parents must endure. Lastly, this paper develops the concept of postcolonial hope as a practical theological response to the Central American migration crisis and the US biopolitical separation of migrant families. The authors argue that postcolonial hope is conceived as people’s resistance against the state’s anti-immigration biopolitics to reckon with the structural sins of dehumanization and terrorization.

Abstract Truth in the West is highly contested. The advent of post-truth politics, in addition to the ongoing culture wars, mitigates against truth being understood solely on the basis of objective facts, as it was in the past. For pastoral carers and counsellors, this raises significant questions: how to build shared understandings of truth between individuals and in communities? This article proposes a solution in an incarnational approach to pastoral work. Drawing upon the work of Rowan Williams, Raimon Panikkar, Diarmuid O’Murchu, and St. Maximos the Confessor, this article offers both theological and practical considerations regarding this approach.
抽象真理在西方备受争议。后真相政治的出现，加上正在进行的文化战争，缓解了人们对真相的理解仅仅基于客观事实，就像过去一样。对于牧民护理人员和顾问来说，这提出了重大问题：如何在个人和社区之间建立对真相的共同理解？这篇文章提出了一个解决方案，在一个化身的方法田园工作。本文借鉴了罗温·威廉姆斯（Rowan Williams）、莱蒙·帕尼克卡（Raimon Panikkar）、迪亚穆伊德·奥穆尔丘（Diarmuid O'Murchu）和忏悔者圣·马克西莫斯（St.Maximos the Confessor）的作品，就这一方法提供了神学和实践方面的考虑。

Abstract This paper is a postcolonial reading of the Protestant practice of continuing bonds between the living and the dead in Hong Kong. It sees the practice as an imperfect indigenization that, in the post-colonial Hong Kong context, can be interpreted as an everyday resistance, a notion advanced by James Scott. The postcolonial relevance of an everyday resistance is explained. The findings of a qualitative study are reported to substantiate the claims. It concludes that a practical theology of imperfect indigenization understood as resistance on everyday level is a public theology recommendable to the post-colonial Hong Kong and Asia.

Abstract This paper proposes a focus on human experience as the locus of identity construction and meaning making and presents a dialogical framework of Christian spirituality as a heuristic for teacher professional learning in religious education in Australian Catholic schools. Firstly the paper explores spirituality as a growing area of interest for young people today and its relation to identity formation for teachers and students in Australian Catholic schools. Secondly it presents a relatable theological framework of spirituality as an opening to transformative dialogue and self-reflection. Finally it describes the four paradigms of spirituality of the framework and the curriculum possibilities they raise.

Abstract This paper explores how Philippine/East Asian discourses on ethics of face and shame can be relevant in light of cyber-sexual violence against women. It argues that lowland Philippine concept of hiya (shame) in its moral and internal sense, should be retrieved as virtue in the context of cyber-sexual violence against women. This can however be complemented by Emmanuel Levinas’ concept of the face of the Other and its reception especially in the cyber-context. Hiya (shame) as sensitivity to a loss of face of the excluded kapwa (other), leads to actions that not only helps to “gain face” but also reveal the God who enfaces.

Abstract Spiritual caregivers increasingly care for clients with other religious/spiritual (R/S) orientations than their own. To date, the ways in which spiritual caregivers deal with these differences have hardly been explored. Based on an analysis of audio records of 34 spiritual caregiver-patient interactions, this paper describes communication techniques used by spiritual caregivers to address existential themes in conversations with patients with various R/S orientations. The model presented describes these techniques regarding the extent to which spiritual caregivers comply with the patient’s R/S orientation and disclose their own R/S orientation. This model can be used to analyze how spiritual caregivers interact with their clients.
