Content Summary: Pope Francis has just named a new bishop for the HK Diocese at a time when the whole fabric of society seems to have been shattered. The very legal order itself appears to be changing. Do these and other perceptions accord with or have become part of the reality that we need to face ? Denis Chang reflects on some critical challenges ahead, including the Church’s role in fostering dialogue, fraternity and unity and a “better kind of politics” which the Pope speaks of in Fratelli Tutti that gives space to the Church’s mission and social teaching and engenders hope.

Description of webinar: Outline of many models of Interfaith Spiritual Care (ISC) offered by Christians focus on “common action for the common good,” attempting to minimize the adversary pastoral effect likely engendered by differences and otherness. It is true that “common ground” could help initiate ISC conversations. Yet, as Teresa Crist says, such an approach often results in a “creeping imperialism” which practically runs against the ultimate aims of interfaith interaction. Hence, ISC needs to be decolonized before it could serve the caring purpose. This presentation will pull together the findings from several empirical research studies done in Hong Kong, where Christianity is a minority religion, to suggest some directions for the decolonizing endeavor.

Summary
The composer Domenico Zipoli (1688-1726) abandoned a dazzling career as a church musician in order to become a Jesuit missionary in Argentina. Although not as well-known and well-documented as Matteo Ricci, Zipoli’s life and legacy forms an intriguing parallel with the earlier missionary. In their approaches to the indigenous cultures they encountered, both can be seen as exemplars of the ‘Jesuit Baroque’.
Biography
Rev Dr Ian Coleman is a Deacon in the Catholic Archdiocese of Westminster, and Director of Music at the Church of Holy Redeemer, Chelsea, London. He studied Music and English Literature at Cambridge University and Philosophy at the Jesuit faculty of the Centre Sèvres, Paris.

本書獨特之處，從前談及天主教在華歴史，都是着眼於外籍傳教士，尤其是神父和修士，本地女性好像被遺忘了，這亦因為她們的資料實在不多。本書説及一群本地華籍女性，看其怎樣奉獻一生，過着修道的生活，服務人群。
