Doing theology in a garbage dump
by John Freund, CM | October 24, 2014 | Congregation of the Mission, Spirituality and Spiritual Practice | 0 Comments

Pilario, C.M. writes”…on weekends, I help my Vincentian confreres in their parish in Payatas, the biggest garbage dump in Manila. … I was invited there to help in giving pastoral care – celebrate Masses or bless the dead, give seminars, meet people. Later, I began to realize that it was not mainly I who was helping. It was in fact they who were helping me make sense of my theology. But that is going ahead of the story.”
