East Asian Theological Encounter Program 2006

| 0

The East Asian Theological Encounter Program is a first in South East Asia that provides an environment for Jesuit Scholastics to get together, to live and do theology together, and to contextualize the encounter in an Asian context with its varied realities, focusing in one form of Buddhism (Thai Buddhism). This is done more on the practical level of dialoguing, discussing, exchanging and deepening views than on the theoretical level of gathering information.

Vinai Boonlue was ordained by Bishop of Chiangmai, Joseph Sangval, at the Sacred Heart Cathedral of Chiangmai on the 19th of November 2005. The date was chosen because it was Saturday after the 17th of November 2005, the date that marked the 51st Anniversary of the second mission of the Jesuits in Thailand. A Regional Triduum preceded the ordination to end the Region’s Golden Anniversary and to prepare for the Jubilee of St. Ignatius, St. Francis Xavier, and Blessed Peter Favre.
