Evangelization in the Modern World
______________________________________________________________
Evangelization is the Church’s primary mission, its unique grace, and its profound characteristic. Pope Paul VI’s Apostolic Exhortation Evangelii Nuntiandi (Evangelization in the New World) was promulgated over fifty years ago, states that the Church exists precisely for the purpose of evangelization, bringing people reconcile with God. This exhortation explores in detail the content, methods, beneficiaries, workers, and spirit of evangelization, thereby examining what means and methods should be employed to truly transform people and make it effective. In this issue, the authors explore the Catholic Church’s understanding of evangelization from various perspectives, as well as the pastoral challenges faced by the local churches. The authors also offer some specific suggestions.

Inculturation and Sinicization of Christianity Vol 3
______________________________________________________________
From December 3 to 5, 2024, the Holy Spirit Study Centre and the Yuan Dao Study Society jointly hosted the Fourth Symposium on the Sinicization of Catholic Theology in Hong Kong. Centered on the theme “Synodality: Theological Concepts and Faith Practices,” the conference brought together a distinguished group of scholars—both clergy and laity—from Mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan.
Inculturation and Sinicization of Christianity features fifteen essays written for the symposium, exploring the theme from different perspectives — spanning biblical studies, ecclesiology, spirituality, liturgy, and history.
This collection stands as a meaningful contribution to ongoing dialogue about faith and culture of the Catholic Church in China.
The Holy Spirit Study Centre
is an organ of the Diocese of Hong Kong. It was established in 1980 by the late Cardinal John Baptist Wu as an expression of pastoral concern for China and the Church in China. It is a research institute whose primary practical task has been to gather, store and analyze pertinent data about China that will serve to broaden understanding of the Mainland’s rapidly changing situation, and to effect appropriate Christian responses. Facilities at the Centre, which is housed in a wing of the Holy Spirit Seminary in Aberdeen, include offices for its full-time staff and research associates, a library, archives for collected documentation, and meeting rooms. Material is gleaned from over 100 Chinese and English language periodicals and daily newspapers.
This provides both professional researchers and other interested people with a wealth of up-to-date information on what is happening in Mainland China and in the Church in China. The work of the Centre is of particular interest to the Hong Kong Diocese not only because it is the diocese with the largest number of Chinese Catholics in the world, but also because Hong Kong reverted to Chinese sovereignty on 1 July 1997 and has since been governed under the principle of “One Country, Two Systems.”
