The mid-year meeting of provincials held in Seoul this July 19-23 chose migration, the environment and the development of Colégio São José, Timor Leste as three apostolic projects for immediate Conference-wide cooperation.  Three ‘internal’ or Jesuit governance projects were also chosen:  continued comprehensive planning for a Jesuit formation that offers a heart for the poor and respect for cultures; the development of governance arrangements for Myanmar; and a decision to build a new fund to support our common activities.

Greater mandate calls for a new name

| 0

In recent years, we had used the term Jesuit Conference of East Asia and Oceania to define organisational arrangements covering our life and service in the Asian countries to the east from Myanmar and in the Pacific Islands.  In order to achieve the greater mandate we had been given, however, we felt that we had to see ourselves in a new, more readily understandable light in today’s world, as the Jesuit Conference of Asia Pacific (JCAP).
