The notion of a practical mysticism takes fresh shape today when the need for contemplatively edged action is great.","PeriodicalId":82116,"journal":{"name":"New theology review","volume":"27 1","pages":"25-32"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-07-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68086770","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Religious Life in the United States: A Vocation of Border Crossing","authors":"Jung-Eun Park","doi":"10.17688/NTR.V27I1.1023","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.17688/NTR.V27I1.1023","url":null,"abstract":"It is said that apostolic religious women communities in the U.S. are experiencing an identity crisis along with a decrease in membership. This essay explains identity construction by critiquing the current approach to identity as a status, and provides a model of identity as border crosser. This study is significant in providing innovative ideas with regard to the identity of women religious, critiquing the life of apostolic women religious, and posing suggestions for the future of religious life in light of a vocation of border crossing. The author employs Jacque Lacan’s concepts of the “master signifier” and the “empty signifier,” in which identity is an ongoing process that can be found in the experience.Using these ideas, the author examines the early history of women religious in the U.S. and explains the distinct identity of women religious as border crosser. Women religious’ vocation of border crossing functioned as a bridge between US society and the immigrant Catholic Church, as well as the primary foundation for their spirituality. This border crossing identity has existed in the midst of apostolic work of women religious since Vatican II. Furthermore, the identity of women religious in the U.S. as border crosser is in the process of being shaped and reshaped in relation to the world, and this border crossing identity will lead women religious to connect with others globally, to create their community in a multi-ethnical way, and to serve immigrants.","PeriodicalId":82116,"journal":{"name":"New theology review","volume":"17 1","pages":"47-53"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-07-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68086786","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It will face the challenge of how to sustain unity theologically, without resorting to a unity forced through a culturally dominant or hegemonic communication of the faith practiced by a local majority of Catholics. John Courtney Murray's idea of \"conspiracy\" critically retrieved and applied to an ecclesial context, specifically a theology of vocation which embraces formal (as in institutionalized) and informal commitments of practicing the faith could provide a solution where different groups of Catholics can live out their particular cultural instantiations of faith while conspiring toward authentic unity amongst themselves.","PeriodicalId":82116,"journal":{"name":"New theology review","volume":"27 1","pages":"40-46"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-07-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68087114","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Memory, Identity, and Community: A Creatively Faithful Approach to the Formation of a Theology of Interment.","authors":"John J. Slovikovski","doi":"10.17688/NTR.V27I1.1029","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.17688/NTR.V27I1.1029","url":null,"abstract":"While the die is cast regarding the valid inclusion of cremation in Catholic funeral rites and liturgies given that certain required criteria are met, recent years have given rise to a new problematic regard the treatment of cremains, in particular the assignment of a final resting place.  Recent statistics attest that approximately two-thirds of cremains are not interred by the family members too whom their care is entrusted.  Failure to bury the ashes may not imply a malicious intent on the the part of the faithful who remain; however, such inadvertence implies a lacuna in contemporary thought to articulate a clear theology of interment with sigificant attention to cremains.  Specifically, disregard for the importance of the burial of cremains indicates something of a theological void in three specific areas.  First, casual treatment of the deceased's ashes indicates a failure to be aware of and understand the connection between Christ's burial and our own, most notably in the theological meaning of Christ's rest in the tomb on Holy Saturday.  Second, a covert yet telling misunderstanding of the symbolic role of interment in the theology of the resurrection of the body is subtly communicated by this neglect in the obsequy.  Third, failure to inter a loved one's ashes may supplant the ultimate connection of all the members of the Communion of Saints with the need for a proximate connection of the physical possession of remains.  Accordingly, the present study will suggest anamnesis of Holy Saturday, awareness of the intricacies of the tomb in the theological dynamic of the resurrection of the dead, specifically the contours of resurrected identity , and a refined understanding of the various metaphysical components of the Communion of Saints as a both a pyschological and theological corrective to the need for physical connectedness through personal retention of cremains.  Such an amendatory approach will serve as the foundation for the fuller development of a Catholic Theology of Interment and better understanding of the eschatological context of Catholic funerary practices.

Hoover","doi":"10.17688/NTR.V27I1.1027","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.17688/NTR.V27I1.1027","url":null,"abstract":"The author reflects on a conversion narrative that emerged in the context of a yearlong ethnographic study of a Catholic parish in the Midwest. The study was intended to uncover the practices and understandings of parish life in a shared parish, that is, a parish with two or more distinct cultural communities with their own masses and ministries but sharing the same parish facilities. The “lost and found” narrative of conversion that emerged in the parish’s Latino/a community has roots in Latin American manifestations of the new evangelization but has taken particular form here in the United States. It frames conversion as the outcome of religious education, and it offers both gifts and limitations. On the one hand, immigrant parishioners receive a rich template for articulating their own stories of faith, especially in the midst of the dramatic change associated with migration to a new country. On the other hand, that same template has some polemical and reductionist themes that will trouble pastoral leaders and that may not serve the second generation well. Pastoral leaders and theologians do well to note both the advantages and ambiguities of this faith narrative as Latino/a Catholics move toward becoming the majority of U.S. Catholics.","PeriodicalId":82116,"journal":{"name":"New theology review","volume":"27 1","pages":"33-39"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-07-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68086916","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
