New EGO article: "Mission, Kolonialismus und Wertewandel" by Michael Sievernich

The article outlines missionary processes in the (early) modern period and analyses the conflicting relationship with colonialism. The example of early modern Hispano-America reveals the close entanglement of colonial rule and ecclesiastical mission, which is followed by sharp colonial criticism and legal-ethical reflection. At the same time, mission projects in the Asian region (India, Japan, China, Korea) usually took place in non-colonial contexts and adapted to foreign cultures.
