Fr. John Carten, SMF Treasurer General,

Scarboro Missions,

2685 Kingston Road, Scarborough,

Ontario, Canada M1M 1M4

Dear Father Carten,

With this letter of gratitude, I have attached a final report on the activities we realized during

the year with Scarboro Foreign Missions support, as well as a funding request that would allow

us to consolidate these activities over the following three years.

First of all please communicate, to the members of the Scraboro community, the gratitude of

our Faculty, University and Dioceses. The grant we received for $6,000 from Scarboro Foreign

Missions allowed us to successfully realize a Theological Congress to discern in dialogue on the

questions that are being posed to Christian faith from the economic, educational, health and

cultural issues of our times. Due to the destructive effects the February earthquake had upon

the Maule Region, our Universidad Catlica del Maule could not and will not be able to finance the objectives of our Plan for Strategic Development for 2010-2013 that include the realization

of Congresses and publishing their results. In this way we hope to contribute towards the

mission of forming disciples as proposed by the Latin America Conference of Bishops at

Aparecida.

The enclosed evaluative report prepared by Jim Morin indicates that our Faculty counts upon a

support network that allows us to contribute towards the development of a contextualized

pastoral theology that discerns in dialogue with the sciences, culture, philosophy and the

Gospel message in relation to the problematic issues of our times. As the report indicates, the

major obstacle to developing this potential is the financial difficulties and priorities our

University must face over the next years due to the earthquake.

It is for the above reasons that I am submitting this solicitude in order for Scarboro to consider

the possibility of supporting our effort with a $6,500 yearly grant for three years consecutively.

This would allow us to give continuity to and consolidate this important initiative. In three

years time our University will be in better conditions to provide the support to continue on our own the activities associated with these activities.

The Scarboro motto of serving in faith, guided by the Spirit animated our small effort to contribute towards the many initiatives that are required for the reconstruction and animation

of the Maule Region after the earthquake. I pray that this Spirit of service in faith will continue

to inspire and guide our efforts and those of Scarboro.

With profound gratitude in our Lord Jesus Christ,

Facultad de Cencias Religiosas y Filosofica Universidad Catlica del Maule October 8, 2010-10-08

Project Proposal 2011-2014

Presentation The following proposal coincides with: - The Statues and Mission of our Faculty to discern in dialogue between the sciences,

culture, philosophy and the Gospel message in order to identify criteria that orient responses to the problematic issues of our times.

- The Strategic Plan of Development for 2010-2013 of the Faculty that include the objectives of realizing congresses and the publication of their results.

- The devastating effects of the February 27th Earthquake upon the Maule Region and

our University that no longer allow for the original commitment the University assumed to financially support the activities associated with the above objectives.

- The successful realization of a first Congress on Theological Discernment made possible through a generous donation from the Scarboro Foreign Missions.

- The need to count upon stable funding for three more years in order to consolidate and give continuity to the above objectives and activities in accord with our strategic plan to develop a contextualized pastoral theology.

General Purpose During the years 2011 to 2014, publish the results of congresses or conferences that contribute towards forming a network oriented to the development a contextualized pastoral theology that discerns in dialogue with the sciences, culture, philosophy and the gospel message, in order to identify criteria that orient the Church in its response to the questions that society poses to Christian faith from the current challenges we face in the Maule Region, Chile and Latin America in a globalized world.


3

Specific Objectives 1. Ensure the development of the conditions that are necessary for the realization of

congresses or conferences and the publication of their results. 2. Engage academics, professionals, pastoral agents, students and the general public

in the development of a support network that contributes towards the development of a contextualized pastoral theology within the Maule Region in relation with the Chilean and Latin America context, which include international participation.

3. Contribute to the development of a contextualized theology that discerns in dialogue with the sciences, culture, philosophy and the gospel message in order to identify criteria that respond to the questions that are being posed to Christian faith by the problematic socio-cultural issues of our times.

Proposed Activities 1. Define with the approval of the Faculty Council, the topics to be developed in yearly

Congresses or Conferences. 2. Organize the funding, promotion, organization, realization and evaluation of the

Congresses or Conferences. 3. Develop a strategy for the development of an ongoing support network among the

institutions and participants associated with the Congresses and Conferences. 4. Approve a proposal for the most effective media to use for the publication and

circulation of the results of the Congresses or Conferences. 5. Prepare annual evaluative reports that identify difficulties and progress, in order to

identify criteria that orient the ongoing development of the project. Expected results 1. The realization of annual congresses or conferences that promote theological

discernment in dialogue with the sciences, culture, philosophy and the Gospel. 2. The ongoing development of a network among the institutions, academics,

professionals, pastoral agents, students and general public that participate in these congresses or conferences.

3. The publication of the results through different media of communication that would sustain the development of the above network as well as provide free public access to the criteria that are registered in these activities. This should also include an article for the Scarboro Foreign Mission Magazine that provides an account of the results.

4. The systematic identification of images, concepts, criteria of judgement and action proposals that contribute towards the development of a contextualized pastoral theology that respond to the critical issues of our times.

5. Contribution through the above to the mission of forming disciples that respond to the call of the Latin American Bishops in their Conference of Aparecida.

Budget Proposal 2011-2014 The proposed budget, in US dollars, takes as a point of reference the real income and expenses of the year 2010 and projects these over the following four years. During the 2011-2013 periods, the University will not be able to finance the Project, while it is recuperating from the effects of the earthquake. This explains the petition to Scarboro Foreign Missions for a fixed annual $6,500 grant for three consecutive years. During the same period the project will seek to gradually increment support from sponsors in Chile and in the year 2014 onwards the major cost of the project will be assumed by the University. Through this formula our objective is to assure the conditions that are necessary for the regular realization of Congresses or Conferences and the Publication of their results as a means of developing a contextualized pastoral theology from the Maule Region and in dialogue with its Chilean, Latin American and global context.

Presentation The proposal to realize annual congresses, publish their results and promote the formation of a support network in order to development a contextual theology, is part of the Plan for Strategic Development of the Facultad de Ciencias Religiosas y Filosoficas during 2010-2013, that was approved by the Superior Council of the Universidad Catlica del Maule. The proposal also coincides with the statues and mission of our Faculty to discern in dialogue between the sciences, culture, philosophy and the Gospel message in order to identify criteria that orient the development of proposals that respond to the problematic issues of our times. The devastating effects of the February 27th Earthquake upon the Maule Region and specifically upon some buildings of our University changed the funding priorities which did not allow the University to assume its original commitment to provide financial support. It was the quick and generous response of Scarboro Foreign Mission that permitted the realization of the proposed activities that are analyzed in greater detail in this evaluative report. The report presents the purpose and objectives of the project and in relation to these, identifies advances and difficulties encountered in the management, organization and implementation of the initiative, and also presents recommendations in order to assure the continued development of this initiative for the following three year period.

General Purpose Publish the results of theological congresses or conferences in order to development a contextualized theology that discerns in dialogue with the sciences, culture, philosophy and the gospel, in order to identify criteria to orient the Church in its response to the questions that society poses to Christian faith from the current challenges we face in the Maule Region, Chile and Latin America in a globalized world. Specific Objectives 1. Ensure the development of the conditions that are necessary for the realization of a

theological congress and the publication of its results.

2. Engage academics, professionals, students and the public in the creation of a support network that contributes towards the development of a contextualized theology within the Maule Region in relation with the Chilean and Latin America context with international participation.

3. Contribute to the development of a contextualized pastoral theology that discerns in dialogue with the sciences, culture, philosophy and the Gospel in order to identify criteria that respond to the questions that are being posed to Christian faith by the problematic socio-cultural issues of our times.

Evaluation The General Purpose of realizing a congress sought to promote the development of a theology that discerns in dialogue with the sciences, culture, philosophy and the Gospel message, in order to identify criteria that respond to the questions that society poses to Christian faith, from the current challenges of the Maule Region and Chile in a globalized world. Specifically the project aims to achieve this goal through activities that articulate the development of support networks through the realization of annual congresses or conferences and the publication and circulation of the results. An evaluation of the advancement of the General Purpose is favourable in the sense that the goal of the project coincide with the Statutes of the Faculty, its Strategic Plan of Development (2010-2013) and the programming of the time necessary for academics to participate in the development of this activity. The Statutes stipulate that the purpose of the Faculty is to cultivate the development of theology and philosophy in dialogue with other sciences and culture in order to understand how faith responds to the challenges of our times. At the same time the Facultys Strategic Plan of Development for 2010-2013 propose the realization of Congresses and publishing the results in order to promote networking among those who are effectively contributing toward understanding and responding to these challenges.


7

The difficulties related to the general purpose of the project to realize Congresses and the corresponding Publication of the results appeared after the February earthquake in Chile, that had severe consequences upon the Maule Region and some buildings of the Universidad Catlica del Maule. This meant the University was not able to finance the development of the proposed Congress and publication of its results, because of the new costs that need to be assumed for reparations and reconstruction. The specific recommendations will appear below in relation to the following objectives. Objective No. 1 Ensure the conditions necessary for the realization of annual theological congresses or conferences and the publication of their proceedings. The assessment of this objective considers various aspects such as the academic programming and financing that permit forming a team responsible for the design, development and evaluation all of the activities required for the realization of the Congress and the publication of the results. The experience indicates that the Faculty effectively counts upon a network of internal and external human-academic-administrative resources that provided conditions to effectively organize a congress and publish contributions from Chile and Latin America, which seek to discern in dialogue between faith, the sciences and culture in order to respond to the challenges of our times. The major difficulty that the project faced was the earthquake and consequent lost of funding which was resolved with a grant from Scarboro Missions. This support permitted verifying the viability of the proposed project but the financial conditions of the University after the earthquake do not permit the annual realization of this activity that is required for the ongoing development and contributions of a contextualized theology. Advancements in the development of this objective include: - The formation of a team of four academics, a secretary and a student responsible for

the organization of the Congress.

- The approval and development by the Faculty of the project proposal.

- The grant from Scarboro Foreign Missions which provided the principal financial support for the realization of the Congress and the publication of the results.

- The definition of criteria for the presentation and evaluation of papers for the Congress.

- The design of a digital registration form in the website in order to facilitate the inscriptions of participants in the Congress.

- The design and maintenance of the website Congreso Maulino de Discernimiento Teolgico that facilitated promotion, inscriptions and access to the proceedings.


8

- The publication of 38 papers in the website that were presented in the Congress and

are freely accessible to the public.

- Two proposals are being studied by the Faculty for the publication of the results of the Congress. One is to develop an Online peer reviewed and indexed journal (see the proposed design Discernir en DIlogo) in accord with the criteria established by SciELO Scientific Electronic Library. The other option is to publish the proceedings in print. In both cases the material will be grouped under four topics and volumes. These include: 1) Theology in Dialogue with the Economy, 2) Theology in Dialogue with Education, 3) Theology in Dialogue with Culture, 4) Theology in Dialogue with Health.

Difficulties encountered in the development of this objective include: - The initial difficulties associated to defining academic, pastoral and administrative

functions for a new team responsible for the development of this initiative.

- The damage suffered by the University in the February earthquake meant severe budget restrictions that did not allow funding that was originally committed to this project. The reconstruction that the University must assume after the earthquake will not allow it to finance the continuity of this activity for at least three more years, which would severely impair the development of the initiative.

- While the Congress demonstrated that their exists conditions to promote quality and systematic dialogue between the sciences, culture, philosophy and faith on economic, educational, health and cultural issues, the diversity and large number of presentation did not allow time to explore in greater detail and depth each contribution.

Recommendations for continuing the development of the project. - Ensure the continuity of congresses or conferences and the publication of their

results, during the period of the following three years that the University is unable to offer financial support for these activities.

- Present Scarboro Foreign Missions with a petition for funding support for three years (2011-2013), in order to continue developing this important contribution for the Church in Chile and Latin America.

- Given the diversity of issues raised and the time required to explore in greater depth

the contributions, future conferences should focus on one topic, with fewer presentations in order to explore the foundations, meaning and implications of each presentation.

Objective No. 2 Engage academics, professionals, students and the general public in the creation of a support network that contributes towards the development of a contextualized theology within the Maule Region in relation with the Chilean and Latin America context with international participation. The assessment of this objective considers the characteristics of the participants who contributed towards the development of the topics of the Congress and those who assisted. The fact that those who presented papers are academics and professionals from different disciplinary areas and institutions from Chile and other Latin American countries, is an indication of both an interest in interdisciplinary dialogue with theology and the conditions that exist to develop networks among these people and their institutions as a strategy to evangelize in dialogue with different sciences, cultures and professions. Advancements in the development of this objective include. - The definition of the criteria for the presentation and evaluation of papers was critical

for the convocation of academics, professionals and pastoral agents that represent different universities as well as church and social institutions, that in their diversity share an interest to discern in dialogue with the sciences, culture, philosophy and the Gospel message, as a way of developing a contextualized theology for our times. This is the basis for the possibility of developing a network if this type of activity can be sustained and developed over time.

- A total of 48 academics, professionals or pastoral agents participated in the development of the thematic content of the Congress through the process of discerning in dialogue. During the five sessions of the three day Congress, the general public varied between 100-130 persons: 85 of these registered previously and participated in all the sessions. The remaining 15-45 participants assisted only in the particular topics of their interest. The following is a more precise description of the participants.

- The geographic and institutional origins of those who presented papers are the following. Two authors from abroad came from the Pontificia Universidad Catlica of Argentina and Earlham College, Indiana of the United States. The other presentations included 24 from the Universidad Catolica del Maule and 12 from eight Chilean universities. These include the Universidad de Humanismo Cristiano, the Universidad Catlica del Norte, the Universidad Alberto Hurtado, the Universidad de Chile, the Pontificia Universidad Catlica de Chile, the Catholic University of Valparaiso and the Catholic University of Temuco. Academics from our Universidad Catlica del Maule represented the following areas: the Faculty of Religion and Philosophy, the Faculty of Education, the Institute of General Studies, the Institute of


10

Social Sciences and the Faculties of Health and of Medicine. A nurse and two doctors who presented papers work in the Hospital of Talca.

- Concrete possibilities were opened up and are being pursued by members of our Faculty in order to further develop network relations on the topic areas of the Congress. In the area of economics we have developed the webpage Repensar la Economa (Rethink the Economy) for the group of economists who participate in association with the Social Area of the Chilean Conference of Catholic Bishops and the Department of Justice and Solidarity at the Latin American Conference of Bishops that are exploring how to promote justice, the common good and equity in a globalized economy. In the area of education a number of objectives were defined that will promote collaboration between our Faculty, the Faculty of Education of our University and the Faculty of Education of the Jesuit University Alberto Hurtado on the issue of the quality of education for the poor sectors of the Chilean society. In the area of health, collaboration already exists between theologians of our Faculty, the Schools of Nursing and Medicine of our University and the Ethical Committee of the Regional Hospital. The conference papers help focus their common concerns on the reality and significance of human suffering and its medical, ethical, pastoral and theological implications. Finally in the cultural area, the papers that were presented revealed the wealth of literary creativity in Chile and the Maule Region that provide a critical reading of our culture environment through the use of religious imagery. This lead to an invitation of several expositors to participate in the annual conference of the Asociacin Latinoamericana de Literatura y Teologa.

- In addition 10 academics were invited to participate as facilitators, outside observers or commentators of the papers that were presented or upon the Congress as such. They were invited to read in advance the papers and present oral and written comments on these or on the overall development of the Congress. The participants included two foreign academics, a Brazilian educator and a theologian from Canada (Lee Cormie). In addition three academics from the University of Talca and six academics from the Universidad Catlica del Maule responded: one from the Faculty of Education and five from our Faculty.

- During the days of Congress, classes were suspended in order to facilitate the participation of students and some teachers assigned study activities on the Congress topics in relation to the course work of students. A group of six students also participated in attending the public during the days of the Congress.

- The general public that assisted was composed of professionals, pastoral agents,

teachers and university students.

- Those who presented papers and the public which assisted in all the sessions were given a certificate of participation in a closing ceremony.


11

Difficulties encountered in the development of this objective include. - The lack of a differentiates digital database in the Faculty that had to be developed

and is a fundamental and necessary component for creating and actualized information on a diversified network that contributes towards the development of a contextualized pastoral theology.

- The yet unresolved question as to whether, in the immediate future, we can count

upon the financial conditions that allow for the realization of regular congresses or conferences and the publication of their results that are necessary to sustain the development of a network.

Recommendations for continuing the development of the project. - Define a policy and procedure in the Faculty that ensure the development,

maintenance and actualization of a centralized and differentiated digital database of the people and institutions that contribute towards the creation of a network interested in developing a contextualized pastoral theology through the realization of Congresses or Conferences and the publication of their results.

- We again repeat the same recommendation of the previous objective that the possibility of developing this proposal will depend upon external funding for the next three years.

Objective No. 3 Contribute to the development of a contextualized pastoral theology that discerns in dialogue with the sciences, culture, philosophy and the Gospel in order to identify criteria that respond to the questions that are being posed to Christian faith by the problematic socio-cultural issues of our times. The assessment of this objective considers the methodology proposed by the congress organizers in order to identify the thematic issues, concepts and criteria that were developed in the congress proceedings that contribute towards the development of a contextualized pastoral theology. Advancements in the development of this objective include. - The decision to develop a Congress that was not limited to theologians but open to a

diversity of academic disciplines, professional areas and pastoral agents is a necessary defining characteristic of this project which seeks to develop a contextualized pastoral theology through interdisciplinary and cultural dialogue.

- The contributions that were presented during the three day inaugural congress demonstrate the potential that exists in Chile to explore the possibilities for


12

developing a contextualized pastoral theology that discerns through interdisciplinary and cultural dialogue with problematic economic, educational, health and cultural issues.

- The website of the Congress provides free public access to the project objectives, its methodology and the 38 papers that were presented in the Congress. These offer an initial starting point from which to explore the development of a pastoral theology that seeks to respond to the economic, educational, health and cultural issues of our times.

- The explicit methodology of the project that included a previous reading of the papers and orientation for authors, observers and audience to identify the images, concepts, criteria and proposals for action, defines how to discern in interdisciplinary and cultural dialogue in order to develop a contextualized pastoral theology in relation to the problematic issues of our context in Chile and Latin America.

- The presentations on economics provided evidence that scarcity is the result of abundance, that the historical development of capitalism was based upon ethical and theological assumptions that have been critically revised and questioned by Church Social Teaching and that there exists viable alternative options to both capitalism and communism that are founded upon ethical and theological foundations for the development of a social economy of solidarity that is sustainable.

- The presentations on education focused upon the challenges which globalization presents to the Chilean school and university system, which must respond to the growing inequalities in the quality of education between the rich and poor. One paper offered criteria on how to provide quality education to poor sectors, criteria based upon the research of concrete initiatives in the Maule Region. Three presentations offered historical perspective on social integration through education from a sociological perspective, research on rural students and initiatives of the Church in the Maule Region over the past century. Questions on the theology needed to orient religious education in Chile were focused on the questions presented by students and teachers, an experience of ecumenical dialogue and upon theology as a knowledgeable praxis.

- The presentations on culture focused upon literary references to how the aesthetic experience of beauty is part of the experience of faith and how this experience is communicated through religious imagery in Chilean literature and poetry in the last three centuries. Popular religious expressions in Latin America and the inseparable communion between community and communication in Church teaching were also explores as well as the anthropological assumptions regarding contemporary culture that appear in the Latin American Bishops documents of Aparecida.


13

- The presentations on health focused upon topics that define the dialogue between health and faith in a diversity of ways. These considered the developing understanding of the relation between illness, suffering, sin and God in Sacred Scripture, a phenomenological understanding of suffering, the essence of attending the sick and the affirmation of the self-esteem and dignity of patients in medical attention. Bioethics was examined as a key area that defines issues for dialogue between medicine, ethics and theology and for the formation of nurses, doctors and pastoral agents.

- The images, concepts, criteria of judgement and action proposal that appear in the areas of the economy, education, culture and health are the clearest verification that the methodology of the project permits the identification of a wealth of existing resources from which to develop a pastoral theology that respond to the problematic issues of our times.

Difficulties encountered in the development of this objective include. - The successful realization of an inaugural congress is in itself insufficient for the

development of a contextualized pastoral theology in relation to the problematic issues of our times. This requires years of sustained and ongoing systematic reflection upon experience in order to identify contextual, cultural, scientific and theological images, concepts and criteria that may guide the development of effective pastoral strategies.

- As previously stated this possibility is uncertain due to the as yet unresolved financial

support required to realize regular congresses or conferences and the publication of their results that are required to sustain the development of a contextualized theological reflection.

Recommendations for continuing the development of the project. - In the edition of the conference proceedings assure that the editorial introduction

presents the methodology of the project in order to identifying the images, concepts, criteria and strategies that contribute towards developing a contextualized pastoral theology.

- We again repeat the same recommendation of the previous objective that the possibility of developing this proposal will depend upon external funding for the next three years.

Last December, in the definition of the annual budget of our Faculty, the University approved financing the equivalent of $6000 US for the proposed project, in order to begin organizing yearly Theological Congress or Conferences. The damage caused by the February earthquake to several buildings of the University obliged severely cutting cost in all areas including the funding of the proposed Congress. The Congress organizers proposed looking for outside funding in order to contribute to the spirit of reconstruction that animated the Maule Region after the earthquake. The quick and generous response from Scarboro Foreign Mision, assumed the amount originally promised by University before the earthquake. We also received support to produce promotional material for the Congress from 3 Volcanes, a local business that produces crates for the fruit export industry. With the reception of funds, the Finance Department of the University opened an account for the project and has assured the implementation of rigorous accounting procedures and standards regarding the use of the funds received. All the funds were dedicated to the project without the charge of overhead administrative costs from the University. The cost of the time of the four teachers involved in organizing the Congress and the publication of the results were assumed by the Faculty. The only cost the project assumed associated to additional personal was those require for secretarial, administrative or technical support. See details of the budget account in the following page.
