Dear Friends
Sorry for the delay but getting into February was quite a task.
I hope you enjoy our FORUM this month. There are exciting pieces. Ellen Van Stichel's superb essay on giving birth, written a few days before she gave birth to her third child! A reply from Peter Knox from Kenya on Trump's horrendous remarks about Africa. Mary Jo Iozzio on the #MeToo Phenomenon. Sharon Bong on the Ecclesia of Women in Asia's meeting in Ho Chi Minh City. Jorge Ferrer on natural disasters as ethically accountable. Great essays addressing real issues.
From Asia, the sad news of the death of Fr. James Poonthuruthil, SDB. There is also news on Ecclesia of Women in Asia's meeting in Ho Chi Minh City as well as some new noteworthy books. Special congratulations to Mary Yuen and Kochuthresia Puliyappallil for their new books!
From Europe there is the report on the Catholic Moral theologian's meeting in Innsbruck and another book on Amoris Laetitia.
Finally, we will be writing you with more information on Sarajevo next month....

The Ecclesia of Women in Asia (EWA) is a forum of Catholic women doing theology in Asia. EWA's vision is the development of theologizing from Asian women's perspectives and the recognition of Asian Catholic women theologians as equal partners in theological discussions within the Church and Academe.

Teaching Catholic Social
Ethics and Civic Education

In March 2017, a group of scholars gathered at the Chinese University of Hong Kong and discussed the topic "Teaching Catholic Social Ethics and Civic Education." After the conference, the participants revised their articles, based on the discussion in the conference and comments from peer reviews. This issue of the Hong Kong Journal for Catholic Studies is a collection of 11 articles. The authors of this issue explore themes like Catholic identity and religious education; approaches in teaching CST, social justice, gender justice and civic education; case studies of teaching social ethics, religious and moral education.
For any inquiry, please contact Mary Yuen, editor of this issue at mymyuen@gmail.com.
