Abstract

The Rural Missionaries of the Philippines (RMP), one of the Mission Partners of the Conference of Major Religious Superiors in the Philippines (CMRSP), was founded on August 15, 1969, in the context of brewing social upheaval and agrarian unrest under the late dictator Ferdinand Marcos Sr. For more than fifty years, RMP remained steadfast in its mandate to serve Christ through the rural poor. As a consequence of their unwavering commitment to their prophetic mission, RMP often encountered various forms of harassments and threats from state forces and those in power. With President Rodrigo Duterte’s ascent into power, attacks against progressive groups and individuals, activists, human rights defenders, and church-based NGOs significantly increased. This article aims to shed light on the nature of RMP’s missionary activity in the midst of intensified state repression.

菲律宾乡村传教士：迫害中期的预言使命

菲律宾乡村传教士协会（RMP）是菲律宾主要宗教领袖会议（CMSP）的使命合作伙伴之一，成立于1969年8月15日，当时正值已故独裁者老费迪南德·马科斯（Ferdinand Marcos Sr.）领导下酝酿的社会动荡和土地动荡。50多年来，RMP一直坚定地致力于通过农村穷人为基督服务。由于他们坚定不移地致力于他们的预言使命，RMP经常遇到来自国家军队和当权者的各种形式的骚扰和威胁。随着罗德里戈·杜特尔特总统上台，针对进步团体和个人、活动家、人权维护者和教会非政府组织的攻击显著增加。本文旨在揭示RMP在国家镇压加剧的情况下传教活动的性质。
