Description

Many of today's Catholic parishes around Australia are led by priests from countries once thought of as 'missionary lands'. Drawing from his African traditional communal heritage, and from Australian secular culture, Father Emmanuel Aguiyi reflects upon his experiences as a Nigerian priest working in modern-day Australian parishes. In A Contemporary Missionary, Fr. Emmanuel explores the challenges, difficulties, and joys faced by a newly arrived priest in Australia. He tackles thorny issues like racism, feminism, and seminary training among others, and his reflections shine a light on this new 'cultural norm' in Catholic parishes, as well as offering an insightful critique of Australian culture today. Fr. Emmanuel, after nearly a decade as a pastor in Australia, has written a fascinating account of the church and culture he found there, with all its similarities to and differences from his native Nigeria. His many insights and reflections will make it of interest to readers in both countries and beyond, especially to those who will follow in his footsteps as missionaries in a highly-secularised but spiritually hungry Australia. Rev Fr (Dr) Paul Chandler, O.carm, Spiritual Director, Holy Spirit Seminary, Banyo, Queensland, Australia There are very few books about missionary experiences of African Priests who are working in foreign lands. Fr. Emmanuel Aguiyi has done a good work by writing about his 'missionary journey' in Australia. He candidly narrates the joys and challenges of working in a totally different cultural setting. He accepts the fact that adaptation ""to a new culture could be as difficult as rocket science."" Yet, he challenges ""every missionary to study the culture and worldviews of the people he works with."" Fr. Aguiyi's book gives practical examples from his personal experiences which makes this book all the more lively and interesting. Rev Fr (Dr) Gerald Musa, Centre for the Study of African Culture and Communication, Catholic Institute of West Africa, Port Harcourt, Nigeria. Emmanuel Aguiyi, a Nigerian born Catholic priest, has worked for nearly a decade in the Archdiocese of Brisband, Australia, as a Seminary Formator and Parish Priest.

Fr Emmanuel has academic interests in theology, culture, and pastoral ministry. He is presently the Parish Priest of Alexandra Hills-Capalaba Parish and Dean of Redland/Bayside Deanery. He holds undergraduate degrees in philosophy and theology, and postgraduate degrees in education and theology.
