Is hospitality enough for Interfaith Spiritual Care by Christians?
This paper is largely theoretical. The main concerns are not the ‘hows’ of Interfaith Spiritual Care, but answers to several questions: (1) What are the main approaches to ISC? (2) Are there any common features among these approaches? If so, what are the commonalities? (3) Is there a colonizing tend...

| Riepilogo: | This paper is largely theoretical. The main concerns are not the ‘hows’ of Interfaith Spiritual Care, but answers to several questions: (1) What are the main approaches to ISC? (2) Are there any common features among these approaches? If so, what are the commonalities? (3) Is there a colonizing tendency inscribed in these approaches that one should be cautious about in the Asian context? (4) How might one decolonize such approaches for the Asian world? These four questions are not unrelated. Rather, together they form the major research question raised in this paper: How should Christian ISC caregivers decolonize the existing western ISC approaches to make them religio-culturally sound in the non-Christian Asian context? To answer question 3 and 4, it provides a more detailed analysis of a hospitality approach to ISC as an example. Throughout this paper, the increasing demands on Christian caregivers to engage in ISC are assumed. The paper concludes with some general suggestions for ISC in a world where Christianity is de facto a guest. |
