Inspired by the spirit of Vincent and Louise and in pursuit of “doing theology from and to the margins”, the Resource Center for Social Concern (RCSC) under the office the Academic Dean envisions:
- To serve as a theological and pastoral resource pool for social movements, grassroots communities and faith-based organizations similarly engaged in different forms of socially transformative praxis;
- To facilitate a process of continuing conversation and mutual enrichment between St. Vincent School of Theology and socially engaged agents of change working in the margins of the Philippine church and society.
Programs:
1. Research/ Documentation
The Resource Center for Social Concern is currently engaged in two research projects under the auspices of the Carlos Abesamis Professorial Lecture (CAPL) which is an integral part of the center. The CAPL seeks:
- To encourage interdisciplinary theological research that would be made at the service of and in collaboration with the social movements through a series of lectures.
- To recognize the important contribution and vision of Fr. Carlos Abesamis in making Christian faith and tradition critically engage our social realities.
2. Conferences/Symposia
The center will organize regular conferences and symposia to get its partners involved in critiquing and harnessing the results of its on-going researches and to address the burning issues of the day. To date, the RCSC has already conducted three symposia:
- Social Movements and the Catholic Social Tradition (October 2009);
- Politics of Representation (April 2010);
- Left for Good?: The Tragicomic Twists and Turns of the Philippine Far Left (September 2010).
Upcoming conferences and symposia include the following:
- Third Look At Jesus With No Pristine Eyes (a lecture based on the on-going CAPL research on the socio-political context of Fr. Carlos Abesamis’ Third Look At Jesus [November 2010]);
- The “Everyday” Is Sufficient Unto Itself: Everyday Life In Socio-Pastoral Praxis (February 2011);
- Toward A Third Look at The Working Class (a lecture based on the on-going CAPL research on the labor sector in a rapidly globalizing world [May 2011]).
3. Socio-Pastoral Engagement
The center will help facilitate education, training and formation programs for BEC leaders and organizers, church-based social development programs and other entities concerned with social responsibility and non-partisan political action. To date, the center has been assisting the BECs in the Diocese of Novaliches and as a distinct contribution to socio-pastoral work it is laying all the necessary groundwork for popularizing the Catholic Social Teaching through various forms of educational and training materials.
4. Partnership/Networking
The center will forge solidarity links and sustained partnership with social movements and other agents of change in church and society through cooperative research, joint formation programs, exposure-immersion processes and other forms of shared undertaking in the service of the poor and marginalized. This is being realized through the center’s conferences and symposia in which representatives of the social movements are participating on a regular basis.
