With Pope Francis urging us to go to the margins have you ever wondered what it is like to “do theology from the margins”? The Philippine Province of the Congregation has a school of theology dedicated to doing just that.
St. Vincent School of Theology
Our Mission
To achieve this vision, it offers a program of theological studies:
- inculturated and contextualized in Asia-Pacific/Philippine realities and seeks to be responsive to the vision and program of the local churches;
- marked by an inter-disciplinary character;
- that fosters critical-collaborative approach to theology, pastoral practice and mission;
- grounded both in the classical sources and in the contemporary global developments.
It endeavors to form a community of disciples whose theological knowledge, pastoral competence and missionary consciousness serve as catalysts towards ecclesial and social transformation.
It has its own journal
HAPÁG A Journal of Interdisciplinary Theological Research
Hapag’ (‘table’ – the Filipino locus for the exchange of food and nourishment, likewise of multiple stories, casual views or deep reflections, of differing beliefs, cultures and disciplines, all done on the spirit of sharing, acceptance and openness) is a bi-annual review of theological-pastoral research from an interdisciplinary perspective in the Philippine and Asia/Pacific contexts. It is a collaborative project of St. Vincent School of Theology and Adamson University.
