CTEWC is inviting new proposals to continue to the CTEWC book series
The CTEWC book series responds to the challenge of pluralism, the call to dialogue from and beyond local culture, and the need to interconnect within a global church. While pursuing critical and emerging issues in theological ethics, CTEWC engages in cross-cultural, interdisciplinary conversations motivated by mercy and care and shaped by shared visions of hope.
Previously we had two book series, namely, the international series and a regional/continental series in Asia. Since we are moving to an online platform, we have managed to overcome the difficulties with accessibility, availability and affordability, and hence we will have a single series, “CTEWC Book Series,” which can be accessed free of cost by anyone who has internet access. Jason King has agreed to be our publisher and will provide at the College of Mt. St. Mary’s online access for our books just as he does with The Journal of Moral Theology (JMT). Print copies will be available for a modest cost.

Lecture Invitation
Agnes Brazal and two colleagues at De la Salle University, are offering a free lecture over Zoom: "Migrant Remittances as Utang na Loob: Virtues and Vices" at 10am on September 15, Manilla time. This lecture examines migrant remittances, which can be situated within the traditional gift economy operative in the Philippine lowland culture, that is centered on utang na loob (debt of solidarity). Exploring pagtanaw ng utang na loob as a vernacular virtue, it expounds on a theology of gift premised on creation as God’s gift (kaloob) suggesting our shared loob (inner self) with the rest of creation, and our responsibility to honor our utang na loob to fellow humans and other co-creatures. It then delves on remittance as an expression of the virtue of utang na loob, the correlative vices, neo-liberal capitalism as root structure of vice diving South to North migration and dependence on remittance, and some solidarity initiatives toward virtuous structures. Register here.
