This paper sets out not only to explain how the Servants of Our Lady of Fatima became a missionary congregation in Mozambique in the late Portuguese colonial period (1972–1975) but also to detail the impacts of their activities in the post-colonial period in Mozambique. This process highlights the pastoral and theological approaches of the Servants. The missionary women were empowered during the early years of independence. This historical context was marked by changes in the ecclesiastic structures and pastoral approaches as well as changes in church-state relation during the transition of Mozambique to independence and the “sixteen years war” (1977–1992).

Why did Asian Christian international students return home with a missionary mindset during the Cold War? This study answers the question by investigating Overseas Christian Fellowship (OCF) Australia and its student returnee mission. I show that OCF’s returnee mission was shaped by Australia’s Cold War foreign policy – the Colombo Plan Scheme. The paper argues that the time-limited conditions imposed by the Scheme established a migratory and educational training pattern which influenced OCF’s mission of evangelising overseas students and training its members to return home as Christian witnesses. In conclusion, I observe a student-led, faith-based Australia-Asia imaginary emerging from OCF’s mission.

Prenant pour point de départ l’itinéraire qui l’a conduit à choisir l’histoire des missions pour champ de recherche au début des années 1970, l’auteur rappelle que l’étude des missions, longtemps objet périphérique, fortement lié à des objectifs ecclésiastiques, a conquis sa légitimité scientifique. Cette évolution doit beaucoup à l’établissement de liens étroits noués avec l’anthropologie à laquelle les historiens ont souvent emprunté ses démarches (dispositifs d’enquête), ses concepts (syncrétisme), ses modèles d’explication. Cette connivence n’implique pas pour autant de renoncer à la spécificité du récit historique attaché à mettre en évidence l’évolution du fait missionnaire dans la durée et la singularité des cas observés. Mais les chercheurs restent confrontés aux limites de leurs outils théoriques et à la difficulté de construire une histoire qui prend en compte le rapport à la théologie sans y être subordonnée (missiologie). Il s’interroge enfin sur l’usage extensif du terme « mission », dont le sens est aujourd’hui brouillé par sa sécularisation et son application à tout mouvement intellectuel ou religieux à caractère militant.

Heather J. Sharkey
This article assesses the “mission” of the journal Social Sciences and Missions as it approaches its twentieth anniversary, starting from its origins as a forum for interdisciplinary study of colonial-era Christian missions, especially in Africa. It surveys major debates that the journal has followed regarding gender, migration, and more. It reflects on its revised manifesto of 2021, committing to the study of missions as neither a “theological category” nor exclusively Christian phenomenon “but rather [as] a type of social action” and mode of “religious intervention in social space.” Building on this history, this article argues, the journal should critically question the nature of religion and the “religious;” cover non-Christian topics more fully; and encompass organizations that may not be recognizably “faith based.” Broader comparative focus will sharpen the journal’s focus on missions as movements that have aimed to channel and promote social change, often with far-reaching and ambiguous consequences.

This paper brings together perspectives on hosting and pilgrimage to show how both can contribute to forms of “indirect mission”: a type of social action where overt intervention for missionary purposes is kept to a minimum, but where an implicit missionary intent is retained. While bringing in comparative material on cathedrals, my ethnographic focus is on the English pilgrimage site of Walsingham, a location of both Anglican and Roman Catholic shrines. I show how shrines work to become sites of reception for publics ranging from pious pilgrims to members of the general population as they seek recognition within both Catholic and secular liberal contexts.

Idesbald Goddeeris, Aditi Athreya
After 1947, the Jesuit province of Ranchi faced several challenges: the context of a newly independent country, increasing modernization and industrialization, and growing societal diversity resulting from immigration and urbanization. The Jesuits not only needed to upgrade their primary education, but also had to meet a rising demand for more middle and high schools. They had to make choices: Should they keep uplifting marginalized communities? Or should they cater to the middle class and elite? This article, predominantly based on internal documents of the Society of Jesus in Ranchi, demonstrates that the Jesuits did not make clear decisions and invested their energy in various types of schools and students. As a result, problems and internal discussions persisted.

Entre 1844 et 1853, Guillaume Douarre, premier vicaire apostolique de Nouvelle-Calédonie, avec quelques pères et frères Maristes, débarquent pour évangéliser la Nouvelle-Calédonie. Dans un pays vierge de présence coloniale, en dépit des intentions de prise de possession de la France, les Maristes débutent leur prêche dans la langue locale qu’ils ont apprise. Immergés dans une culture qu’ils essayent de comprendre ils obtiennent quelques conversions et forment des catéchistes comme futurs relais auprès des habitants. Or, en 1847, alors que Douarre réalise un voyage en Europe, une coalition menée par quelques chefs kanak détruit la mission et massacre un frère. En nous appuyant sur le Journal de l’évêque nous pouvons remonter aux origines de ce drame. Nous apprenons que les Kanak se demandent si les « âmes des ancêtres ne sont pas de retour » installant un premier malentendu. Âmes censées avoir un pouvoir sur les éléments de la nature. Un deuxième malentendu prend corps : le rite du baptême dispensé par les « ancêtres » fait mourir pour certains, surtout quand survient l’épidémie de peste entrainant la mort aussi de chrétiens. Ces causes mêlées à des frustrations diverses ont donc abouti à la destruction de la mission. En dépit de ce drame l’inculturation du christianisme était à l’œuvre comme pouvait en témoigner l’émergence d’une solide petite chrétienté. Celle-ci était formée par des Maristes, appliquant une pédagogie d’évangélisation respectant les cultures, recommandée par les Instructions de la Propaganda Fide.
