The Word and the Words

125 Years of SVD Engagement in Papua New Guinea

Produktform: Buch / Einband - flex.(Paperback)

The Divine Word Missionaries and Missionary Sisters celebrated the 125th anniversary of missionary engagement in Papua New Guinea in August 2021 with a Symposium under the theme ‘Did We Bring the Light?’ The proceedings of this Symposium are collected in this volume and deal with activities at the service of education, particularly through the Divine Word University; with historical and ethnological considerations; different services at the wellbeing of peoples, specifically with regard to medical aspects; and with different apostolates related to journalism, the formation of clergy or in parishes. ‘Have we learned from the people we have been working with? What lessons did we learn?’, Archbishop Douglas Young asked at the symposium, and responds: ‘Most certainly we have. My own most important learnings are to not put my trust in horses and chariots, i.e. an awareness that my own strategies and techniques, however laudable, cannot replace trust in God and God’s plan. We have to put our best efforts into doing the best job possible but we have to realise that it is the Lord that gives the increase!’weiterlesen
