East Asian Pastoral Review

The East Asian Pastoral Review came to life in 1980. The East Asian Pastoral Institute existed since 1961, when Fr. J. Hofinger, an Austrian, and a group of Jesuits expelled from China (1949), started a center of activities in the barracks of what had been a concentration camp of the world war II. In 1962 they published a first quarterly review, Good Tidings, with a yearly subscription rate of 0.60 US$! In 1964 a liturgical supplement, Amen, was added, under the direction of Fr. Paul Brunner, an Alsatian Jesuit. The same year, Fr. Hofinger began another review, Teaching All Nations, which would propagate the missionary and pastoral ideas, emerging from the second Vatican council. At the end of the 70s, the Institute was loaded with several minor periodicals, which were too heavy burden for the limited personnel. Therefore, the staff took the decision to merge the various publications into the East Asian Pastoral Review, under the direction of Fr. Felipe Gómez. The inaugural issue appeared in winter of 1979, as the last issue of the volume 17th of Teaching All Nations. The first year of EAPR, started with volume 18th, to show continuity with the previous periodicals.
