THEO3008 · Theology
Morrissey College of Arts & Sciences
This survey course reveals how Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Vietnamese and Filipino Catholics theologies have contributed and have been shaped by the American experience. What have been the common and unique influences of immigration, justice and peace from the 1800s till the present day? Each brings established traditions of family, food and sacred rituals that still enrich their liturgical celebrations. Their recognized spiritual gifts are seen in Marian devotion and their saints. As a result of their cross-cultural domestic and international witness these Asian Americans are acknowledged as esteemed leaders, theological, and pastoral contributors in all aspects of contemporary American Catholicism.
