11th
International Symposium
History of the Church in China
From its beginning to the Scheut Fathers and 20th Century
Unveiling some less known sources, sounds and pictures
The Ferdinand Verbiest Institute KULeuven organized its 11th International
Symposium (September 4-7, 2012) on the History of the Catholic Church in
China with special attention this time to “Evangelization by the Scheut
Fathers in China”.
In 2012 CICM, Scheut (the Congregation of the Immaculate Heart of Mary),
celebrates the 150th anniversary of its founding by Theophiel Verbiest
(1823-1868). The Belgian “Scheut Fathers” were active mainly in the
immense “Mongolian” territory, north of the Great Wall. As part of their
activities of evangelization, they also engaged in scholarly research on
Mongolian and Chinese languages and cultures, in agricultural projects, in
education and health care.
The 11th International Verbiest Symposium, planned by the Ferdinand
Verbiest Institute (KU Leuven,Belgium) on September 4 to 7, 2012, paid
special attention to the Scheut missionary presence in China. In its
earlier symposia, Verbiest Institute KULeuven focused its attention more
on the China Mission at the time of Verbiest (17th-18th centuries). This
line of interest continues, but the institute also wishes to promote more
research on the 19th and 20th centuries. Therefore, the 11thSymposium will
remain open to academic lectures on the whole history of the Church in
China including its earliest history, the time of the Franciscans, the
17th-18th century and the 19th-20th centuries.
This time we intend to make available in English, part of the valuable,
unpublished data collected (and written mostly in Dutch) by Jozef Van
Hecken CICM (1905-1988) on the history of Scheut in China. A special
effort will also be made to present audio-visual material, illustrating
the efforts of evangelization of missionaries in China through photos,
film, paintings, architectural drawings, liturgical music or drama.
