“…The contribution of Christianity in the education sector is well documented globally, for example, in African countries such as Tanzania (Mushi 2009), Kenya, and Uganda (Hofer 2003). Similar studies in Asian countries such as India (Ingham 1956;Frykenberg 2008), Nepal and Sri Lanka (Ullrich 2019), and the Philippines (Gutiérrez 2009) and Latin American countries such as Nicaragua (Dodson and O'Shaughnessy 2000) and Ecuador (Kurian 2012) show links between education and Christian missionaries.…”

Christian conversion has become a major topic of discussion amongst academics, religious leaders, and policymakers alike in recent decades, especially in developing countries. Nepal has witnessed one of the highest rates of Hinduism to Christianity conversion in South Asia. Whilst there are no legal restrictions for religious conversion in Nepal, the conversion from Hinduism to Christianity appears to be disproportionately higher amongst Dalit communities in Nepal. However, religious conversion amongst Nepalese Dalits is yet to be fully understood. This research uses mixed methodologies of data collection and analysis to explore various issues related to religious conversion amongst Hindu Dalits into Christianity in Nepal. Results indicate whilst elderly and female Dalits tended to convert to Christianity, a range of factors specific to personal and communal biographies including social, cultural, emotional, and spiritual interplay together to shape the process of religious conversion amongst the Dalits. The paper concludes that the study of religious conversion should consider a range of sociocultural factors to fully understand the dynamics of religious conversion amongst Dalits.

“…They have been used and explored by the last three popes, consolidating the concerns of previous popes for the poor. The preferential option for the poor is a radical option for the poor that is the responsibility of all in the Church (Gutiérrez, 2009a;Sobrino in Powell, 2008). It is rooted in a biblical mandate for care for the poor in both the Old and New Testaments and there is a long history of theological and ecclesial argument for the care of the poor (Groody, 2007).…”

Catholic schools share in the preferential option for the poor that is an essential part of following Jesus and the mission of the Church. Catholic schools in many parts of the world have an historical and contemporary mission for the care and education of the poor. This article uses key passages from the Gospels of Luke and Matthew to illustrate that Mary can be understood as an exemplar of God’s preferential option for the poor. Mary is presented as a young and poor Jewish woman of faith in the Annunciation and the Magnificat in Luke’s Gospel and is presented as an externally displaced person in flight into Egypt in Matthew’s Gospel. The paper also examines the journey to Bethlehem in Luke’s Gospel as interpreted by Pope Francis. He interprets this as Mary being an internally displaced person. Adopting these distinctive modes of interpretation, Mary can be recognised as a model of the preferential option for the poor for Catholic schools.
