| Summary: | Parish mission partnerships have become a major mode of international mission in the US Catholic Church. This is the first large study of Catholic parishes from around the country that are engaged in such partnerships (N=91) that examines how practitioners understand the purpose and goals of the partnerships, their faith basis, and the principles and values that undergird them. It also explores how the practitioners engage in parish mission partnerships, how they learned to do so, and their awareness of potential ethical concerns in partnerships regarding dependency, paternalism, and the self-esteem of their non-US partners. |
