Mission Update
From the Director
Rosanne Rustemeyer, SSND
That subtle change into the autumn season is happening just outside
my window as finally real rain is predicted for the Washington,
DC area. The seasonal change calls for a recap of the summer
months. I share thoughts on two very important meetings held
annually in August.
The Conference of Major Superiors of Men, gathered under the
theme of Called to Witness: Religious Life Challenged by the
Mission of the Church, met in Philadelphia from Aug. 7th - 11th.
For the fifth year, CMSM has assembled around the long range
and essential concerns of MISSION emphasizing human rights,
mission on the margins, multiculturation, youth and community.
Fr. Canice Connors, OFM Conv., CMSM president, set the context
for the coming together of mission and religious consecration by
quoting Vita Consecrata (par. 51): The Church entrusts to
communities of Consecrated Life the particular task of spreading
the spirituality of communion, first of all in their internal life and
then in the ecclesial community and even beyond its boundaries, by
opening up or continuing a dialogue in charity, especially where
todays world is torn apart by ethnic hatred or senseless violence.
Placed as they are within the worlds differnt societies ... communities
of Consecrated Life, where persons of different ages, languages and
cultures meet as brothers and sisters, are signs that dialogue is
always possible and that communion can bring differences into
harmony.
Main speakers including Frs. Donald Senior, CP, and Steve Bevans,
SVD, highlighted the theme through their perspective of mission
as reconciliation, urgently needed in a fractured world .
The Leadership Conference of Women Religious met in St. Louis
Aug. 17th - 22nd to address Leadership in Dynamic Tension. Sr.
Kathleen Pruitt, SSJP, and LCWR president, challenged leaders to
live into the Paschal mystery with outrageous hope! in
approaching the problems facing the world today.
St. Mary Maher, SSND, keynoted and defined postmodern religious
life as the call to bear the ancient wisdom of Christianity with a
new justice to a world marked by radical pluralism and the inability
to deal with difference.
USCMA is always happy to participate in these conferences as it
provides an opportunity to meet so many of you who support the
work of the association. Happy Autumn !

Report on Annual Meetings
Association of Professors of Mission (APM) June 20-21, 2002
American Society of Missiology (ASM) June 21-23, 2002
Celebrating its 50th anniversary during its annual meeting, the
Association of Professors of Mission met and reflected upon its
birth and formative years and its future. Panel presentations by
Drs. Charles Forman, James A Scherer, Craighton B. Lacy, Edwin
Luther Copeland, Margaret Eletta Guider, OSF, and professors Greg
Leffel and Bokyoung Park, were both challenging and enlightening.
Dr. Dana Roberts, a distinguished author and professor from Boston
University provided a response to the panel presentations and to
the working-group sessions, Envisioning APM Tomorrow.
Migration; Challenge and Avenue for Christian Mission was the
theme of the meeting of the American Society of Missiology. It
began with a presentation by Dr. Andrew Walls, entitled Migration
and Missiona Historical Overview. Dr. Walls used a number of
sources, including scripture, in a thought-provoking and effortless
manner to reflect upon the human history of migration. His
presentations, as well as those of other speakers, will be printed in
the January 2003 edition of Missiology: An International Review.
Sunday provided time for concurrent meetings of the three
confessional traditions (Roman Catholic, Conciliar Protestant, and
Independent) present at the ASM meeting. Each group reflected
upon the role of ASM and considered the practical implications of
its role in the Society.

Rosanne Rustemeyer, SSND, and Kevin Day of the USCMA staff

opportunity to learn more about the worldviews of other Christian
traditions and to dispel misunderstandings about Catholic practices
and beliefs. They were impressed with the diversity of participants
and enjoyed the comaraderie.

Africa
Mission is done by Africans in a way that reflects their culture and
values: A situation of weakness and the pure sharing of faith. They are
in a difficult situation because they do not want to be financially dependent
on outside support and yet, people have grown accustomed to the services
that missioners have provided.
Many Christians in Africa are joining the Charismatic and Pentecostal
Churches because they reflect the local culture and ethos. Need to look at
genuine in-depth inculturation. Islam can be both political and
proselytizing. This calls for a Christian presence that will be evangelizing
and will cultivate a spirituality of inter-religious dialogue.
The AIDS crisis has meant that the relief of human suffering has taken
priority over pastoral care and evangelization. Some church personnel
feel that the people value the church only for its humanitarian efforts.
Asia Asia has 85 % of the worlds non-Christians. Mission will have to be
carried out by the Church as the little flock with the following characteristics:
Powerlessness. Evangelization must be done from a position of
powerlessness and humility. Preach the Gospel from a position of solidarity
with the people. Be genuinely one with them in their condition of
oppression and poverty, discrimination and loss of identity, and suffering.
Contemplation. In Asia, evangelization must not be marked so much
by frentic activity but by a contemplative presence among Gods people.
Lead people into the mystery of God through signs and symbols in
respectful dialogue. The missioner will give priority to being missionary
over doing missionary things.
Stewardship. The approach of the missioner will be to share the faith
as a gift received from God through others, conscious of herself or himself
as merely its steward or servant, and never as its owner or master.
Latin America
Martyrs and prophets continue to strengthen the faith of the people.
Growing mission awareness.
The importance of the Churchs involvement with indigenous peoples
and African-Latin American peoples was brought up in the Plenary
Sessison.
Oceania
Missioners in Oceania are disheartened by the lack of international
support and interest in the problems facing the Pacific.
Spiritual resources, such as access to spiritual direction, retreats, on-
going formation and workshops are insufficient due to the distance and
isolation of the islands.
The challenges facing the Church include: working towards an
ecumenism that will engage fundamentalist sects; inculturation, and a focus
on youth who are such a large part of the population.
The meeting concluded with many substantive suggestions which, when
implemented, would make a significant difference for local Churches and for
Institutes involved in mission. Another meeting between the Congregation for
the Evangelization of Peoples and Missionary Institutes (including lay mission
participation) is being planned for next year. This years participants were
requested to suggest the theme, time frame and format of the meeting.

Washington Coalitions Report
Jubilee USA Network
Jubilee continues to support legislation that
would increase debt relief to the poorest
countries. In April, companion bills were
introduced in the House and Senate that, if
passed, would provide deeper debt relief
by cutting an additional $1 billion in debt
service. These bills, the Debt Relief
Enhancement Act 2002 (HR 4524 and
S 2210) had solid bipartisan support. In
early summer, the Senate version of the bill
was incorporated into S 2525, The United
States Leadership Against HIV/AIDS,
Tuberculosis and Malaria Act of 2002.
This bill unanimously passed the Senate on
July 12th with less binding language than
the original bill. Jubilee is urging its
members to lobby their Representatives for
passage of the House bill in hopes of
attaining the needed debt relief.
Jubilee, in cooperation with the Religious
Working Group on the IMF and the
World Bank (RWG), 50 Years Is Enough
Network, Essential Action, Center for
Economic Justice and others are organizing
events from September 25th - September
29th around the fall meetings of the IMF
and the World Bank. These events include
teach-ins, a film festival and a debate,
featuring partners from the Global South.
For the 26th the RWG prepared an Interfaith
Prayer Service. A candlelight vigil at the
US Treasury Department follows. On the
28th there will be a large mobilization, rally
and march.
Catholics for a Peaceful End to War and
Terrorism composed a first anniversary
letter, remembering the victims of
September 11th and reminding us thatin
the words of Martin Luther King, Jr.
Wars are poor chisels for crafting peaceful
tomorrows.

The Missionary Church in 2025!

M ission leaders journeyed to a mountain villa outside

of Rome for their annual spring gathering as members
of SEDOS, a center for documentation and research for
mission. These leaders gathered to renew their vision of
missionary church following the work done at their meeting
in 2001. Their hope now was to move from dream to reality,
from vision to actionpersonally, congregationally, and at
intercongregational levels.
This movement was to be directed by deepening participants
understanding and clarifying their mission in the Church of
the 21st century. Identifying consequences of this new
understanding would help to indicate appropriate methods
and praxis for mission.
Robert Schreiter,CPPS, the first of several presenters
indicated seven salient values that he drew from the groups
previous work together. Values of greatest concern for the
immediate future of mission are: Authenticity in Our Gospel
Witness, Contemplation, Prophecy, Dialogue, Dealing with
Plurality and Diversity, the Globalization of Solidarity,
Healing and Reconciliation. Schreiter concluded the
discussion by raising the issue of formation for leadership
for institutes in 2025. He cautions that sensitivity to
intercultural communication holds a key to the future.
G lobalization will remain very much on the missionary
agenda in the first decades of the 21st century. Some of
those watching the process are predicting that one of the
challenges of the coming decades will be to create a more
humane form of globalization. This means extending to a
greater share of the worlds population the positive aspects
of globalization, and a drastic reduction of its negative
effects on the worlds poor profoundly disrupting their lives.
Schreiter acknowledges the thought of John Paul II regarding
globalization where no one is
left behind or excluded.
Proclaiming Gods justice is a
necessary and important part of
humanizing globalization and its
effects in the immediate future.
Schreiter suggests that the work
of reconciliation might become
one of the prinicipal paradigms
for mission in the 21st century. Robert Schreiter, CPPS
He goes on to say that the Photo: Courtesy of
possibility of the reconciliation Dorothy Perry
of divided and devastated societies may be one of the most
vivid expressions of Gods Good News for the world today.
The biblical foundation which supports this paradigm is
found in Ephesians 2:12-19 where Christians are challenged
to break down the walls which divide us and put an end to
hostility by becoming citizens of the divine household.
R econciliation will have to encompass the moral
reconstruction of society so that past deeds that led to
violent conflict and to the depredation of globalization
cannot happen again. The work of justice aims at those
dimensions of society which fostered and supported the evil.
Though the healing of wounds of the individual and society
are the goal of reconciliation, the message of the Pascal
mystery gives testimony to what Christian faith can bring
to a divided and fractured world. Reconciliation as a
paradigm for mission speaks very much to our current time
and will likely continue to be needed in the coming decades
of the 21st century.

July, 2002) Visit: www.sedos.org for complete articles.

Thank You, Sylvia Thompson !

S ometimes they are called pathfinders. They are the leaders out on the pointprobing, finding the way, setting the scene
for others, and inviting them to participate. Over the past decade one special leader in the missison education movement
has been Sylvia Thompson, the soon-to-retire, Director of the Columban Mission Education Office.
With a background in education, youth ministry and religious education, Sylvia came to the Mission Education Office with
many professional and personal skills. Her first meeting of the Columban Fathers was in the Philippines where she lived as
a Navy family with her husband and children.
Her ability to see the reality of mission through the eyes of teachers and students has brought great credibility to the area of
mission education. Today, Columban programs are highly recognized and valued in hundreds of parishes and schools across
the country. Mission is alive and life-giving because of people like Sylvia Thompson.
Although we will all miss Sylvia and her mission spirit, all the Columbans and USCMA staff and membership wish her and
her family, Gods blessings of health and long life.

A Missioners Experience in Haiti

We want them to learn that ... the kites they fly cannot be for themselves alone.
JUDY VOLLBRECHT, RSCJ, WORKED IN AFRICA FOR EIGHT YEARS. FOR NINE YEARS SHE SERVED AS ASSOCIATE DIRECTOR
AND MISSION EDUCATOR FOR THE MISSIONS OFFICE OF THE ARCHDIOCESE OF NEW ORLEANS. SR. JUDY HAS BEEN IN
HAITI SINCE JANUARY 2000. WITH THE HEART OF A MISSIONER, SHE WRITES A REFLECTION ON HER CURRENT MINISTRY.

T wo and a half years ago, the Society of the Sacred Heart came to Haiti. We thought of it as a gift to our Mother
Foundress, Madeleine Sophie Barat, in honor of the 200th anniversary of our founding. It has been an opening onto
another world.
Boys walk the streets ringing a little bell and carrying shoe-shining equipment. How can they stay alive doing that, when
everyone is so poor? Who would spend money getting their shoes shined when they didnt have money to eat? But clean
shoes are a high value in Haiti. People may have to avoid open sewers, dirty water running down the streets, piles of garbage,
and vehicles coming from all directions; but, they make sure their shoes are clean before entering a building. Is it a form of
protest against all the forces stepping on them and working against them? They will not let themselves be defeated.

Haiti is a proud country, built on the dreams of slave ancestors.

In the spring, the windy season, the sky is full of kites made from plastic bags and sticks. From the tops of building around
the city, children set their creations aloft, using all their skill to keep them from getting entangled in wires or trees. The dirty
streets are below them, and for a few thrilling moments, their dreams fly high. The kites inevitably come to ruin, but the
dreams do not. The next day new kites are made and take to the sky.
Haiti is a proud country, built on dreams of slave ancestors who endured humiliation, abuse and death at the hands of other
human beings, who, it turned out, were also made of flesh and blood. Masters mutilated and murdered slaves, who revolted
and murdered them, thereby demonstrating their equality and finding freedom, but it was a freedom based on oppression and
violence, a freedom in which someone is always on top of others. The others wipe their shoes and deny that they have been
stepped upon, that they are not free.
In the slum and market areas of Port-au-Prince today, mountains of rotting, vermin-fested garbage clog the streets. After
months of complaints, they are still there, and growing. Are they perhaps a symbol of the people who live and try to eke out
an existence there?

A few blocks away, the gleaming white palais national, with manicured lawns and flags flying, has American helicopters
flying overhead to protect the head of state. Inside, a boy from the slums is president, and is trying to keep his kite from
foundering.
In Verrettes, a town three hours from Port-au-Prince, a child of ten cries, Manman! Manman! behind a coffin built by his
older brother for their mother, dead of typhoid, whose alcoholic husband also has six children by another woman. Today the
older brother and another sibling have returned to Port-au-Prince, while Jeff and his younger brother stay with their father
and the other madame. They go for days without food. They want to go to school.
Otonyel, a wide-eyed boy of seven, who had refused to speak when camp began two weeks
earlier, smiles shyly and lifts his Timoun Tt Ansanm tee shirt to show us how full his stomach
had become.
It is in Verrettes that we have come to live and share life with the people of Haiti. We have
chosen to work with the children, and through them with their parents. A group of young
people from the parish work with us, teaching us much about Haitian culture in the process,
and learning about non-violence and childrens rights. We have begun to build a Center for
Timoun Tt Ansanm, where there will be room for the children to play as they learn about the
gospel, caring for the environment, hygiene and health, music and dance, art and crafts, math
and reading. We want them to learn that they do not have to step on others in order to be free, Judy Vollbrecht, RSCJ,
with Rev. Peter Phan
and that the kites they fly cannot be for themselves alone.

Aid to the Church in Central and Eastern EuropE

It has been the practice of the Catholic Mission Forum to have a presentation on areas of mission at each of its
meetings. In May we were privileged to hear Msgr. George Sarauskus share from his vast experience of the
Church in Central and Eastern Europe. We deeply appreciated his insights and his concern for our European
brothers and sisters. What follows is a summary of some of the main ideas shared with us. The article is drawn
from materials on the web site: www.usccb.org/aidtothechurchincentralandeasterneurope .
A Faith Ever Ancient
Ever New
Together We Can Build the Future Current Challenges for an Ancient Faith

F or three generations Roman Catholics in Central and

Eastern Europe endured the atheistic political climate
of communism. During some seventy plus years their
churches, monasteries and seminaries were closed or
destroyed; their priests, religious, and lay people sent to labor
camps and prisons where many died of hunger, cold, or
grueling work; their ecclesiastical activity and charitable
works forbidden. Everything seemed to be leading to the
extinction of the faith and the death of the Church.
On November 9, 1989, the Berlin Wall fell, soon afterward
Solidarity in Poland gained a foothold and communism weak-
enedhistorical turning points benefitting both Christian-
ity and the Churches in Central and Eastern Europe. Early
efforts at bringing back to life the stream of faith that had
been forced underground concentrated on the compelling
needs of the moment: re-
building confiscated
churches, constructing new
worship spaces, reorganiz-
ing parishes, refounding
seminaries, training cat-
echists, establishing Episco-
pal Conferences, creating
media services, publishing
Eastern Europeans Expressing religious and catechetical
their Faith in Procession and liturgical materials.
TRAVEL DISTANCES TO SUNDAY MASS
The high point of the weekly activity in the Vladivostock
mission is Sunday Mass. Only since January of 1994 has
Mass been held again in the Catholic church. Usually well
over 100 people attend, though many of them must travel
for two hours or more on public transportation to get there.
INFLUENCE OF NON-CHRISTIAN SECTS
Non-Christian sects are actively seeking converts who do
not know anything about Catholicism and who are openly
insulting toward Christianity. All are making inroads among
the young who do not have enough information to make an
informed decision about the truth of Christian beliefs. In
order to spread the Truth and offset these errors, resources
and personnel are needed.
SHORTAGE OF PRIESTS
It took exactly ten years for the Roman Catholic church in
the Asian part of Russia to produce a native, Russian priest.
In June 2001, Vladivostok native and member of the parish
of the Most Holy Mother of God, Yevgeny Peregudov, age
28, was ordained to the priesthood for the diocese of Eastern
Siberia.
The above situations are but three examples of problems
that cannot be overlooked today, eventhough the word of
God is again free to be preached throughout Central and
Eastern Europe.

Book Review
SAINT FRANCIS by Marie Dennis and art by John August Swanson. Maryknoll, New York: Orbis Books, 2002.

Built around a visual biography of twenty-four drawings that capture the key elements
and events of St. Franciss life, Marie Dennis adds excerpts from the The Little Flower
of St. Francis and writings of Thomas of Celano before presenting her own reflections
on the contemporary implications of Francis life.
The book is one that everyone can sit with in prayer. The reflections and the inspiring
and reflective art work can be used individually or collectively for hours of reflection
and meditation. SAINT FRANCIS achieves its goal of inviting the reader to encounter
a holy man that is still relevant to our own lives as an example of courage and teacher From the Bookcover

The Bible in a
Multicultural Context
The 2002 World Mission Institute, The
Bible in a Multicultural Context
sponsored by the Chicago Center for
Global Ministries and the USCMA was
held this past April in Chicago.
This years Institute began with a
moving performance of the Book of
Revelation by David Rhoads of the
Lutheran School of Theology in Chicago
and included presentations representing
several perspectivesthree of which
were the African American perspective
by Dr. Clarice Martin of Colgate
Divinity School, the Asian one by Dr.
K.K. Yeo of Garrett Evangelical
Theological Seminary, and the African
one by Dr. James Okoye of Catholic
Theologocial Union.
Father Pablo Richard also addressed the
participants with a multicultural study
of the Book of Revelation as a source
for a new vision of the Missio Dei. He
spoke of moving from a prophetic vision
to an apocalyptic vision of the Kingdom
of God, from a mission of denunciation
of evil and hopes of societal
transformation to creation of new
visions, new communities and new
values within the present order.
The Chicago Center for Global
Ministries (CCGM) was established in
1993 and describes itself as a common
venture of Catholic Theological Union,
Lutheran School of Theology of
Chicago, and McCormick Theological
Seminary (PC/USA) to facilitate
theological education for ministry and
to further scholarly research from the
perspective of globalization and the
churchs catholicity. Next year the
Institute will be held again in April and
will focus on faith and national
allegiance. Senator Paul Simon will
be a speaker.
