As a
community,
the
International
Association
of
Conciliar
Theology,
we
journey
with
people
of good
will who
are
sensitive
to the
challenges
of our
times.
We
reflect
on
Christian
tradition
(supported
by solid
scholarship)
in the
light of
cultural
and
religious
experiences
and
socio-political
developments.
The
Scriptures
narrate
God´s
incarnation
by which
Christ
Jesus
shares
the life
of the
world.
Traces
of God's
liberating
presence
are
found in
stories
and
struggles
of women
and men
that
“have
life and
have it
to the
full”
(John
10:10).
Christian
people
share
the “joy
and
hope,
grief
and
anguish
of human
beings
of our
times,
especially
of those
who are
poor or
afflicted
in any
way” (Gaudium
et Spes
1). Our
international
journal
walks in
the
footsteps
of those
who
shaped
the
vision
arising
from the
Second
Vatican
Council.
During
the
Council
(1962-1965)
the
Roman
Catholic
Bishops
decided
to open
the
Church
to a
changing
world
and read
the
signs of
the
times in
the
light of
the
Gospel.
This has
been a
modern
starting
point
for
church
renewal
and for
theological
re-foundation.
Since
1965,
with a
critical
and
constructive
discourse,
Concilium
has
contributed
to new
ways of
doing
theology.
We want
to reach
our
readers
between
the
faithful
and all
persons
of good
will,
leaders
and
members
of
churches
and of
social
movements,
and
persons
in
institutions
dedicated
to or
interested
in
theology.
We seek
to
respond
to the
signs of
our
times,
to the
longing
for a
new
humanity
and for
the
integrity
of
creation.
We are
in
solidarity
with the
irruption
of the
poor and
with
theological
insights
of women
and men
throughout
the
world
and
specially
of
marginalized
peoples.
As a
Catholic
Review
of
Theology,
Concilium
reaffirms
its
mission
within
the
renewal
of
churches
and
spiritualities
committed
to hope,
love,
justice
and
peace on
this
earth.
It
fosters
international,
intercultural,
interreligious
exchanges.
It is
challenged
by
globalization,
secularism,
and new
forms of
spirituality.
Deep
theological
questions
arise
because
of
cultural
and
social
challenges,
of a
change
of
epoch,
of
social
and
religious
initiatives,
of the
search
for a
new and
more
just
interrelationship
between
nations
and
cultures.
We
contribute
to
ecumenical
and to
inter-religious
dialogue.
We deal
with
global
factors
and
communications,
hoping
that a
renewed
church
and
“another
world”
are
possible
(World
Social
Forum).
Thus our
Review
intends
its
contribution
to the
future
of
Christian
tradition
of which
it is a
part and
to which
it holds
itself
accountable. |
