Divine Word Missionaries in India

The missionary visions of the 19th century are remarkably changed by the end of the 20th century. Karl Mueller, internationally known Missiologist and author of many books, in the article “The Missionary Charism of the SVD – past and present” explores the origin of the congregation, its work in distant lands like China, Togo, New Guincea, Japan, etc. Realizing the changes in mission theology in the course of the past century, the author explains how the congregation can still be faithful to its Charism since “Missionary work is the end and aim of the Society” and how “all our activities are ultimately intended to help the church fulfill its missionary task.”
