ABOUT SVST

Doing Theology From the Margins

    In our effort to capture the spirit of the vision-mission, we formulated the motto: "doing theology from the margins". This direction is not far from the vision of Vincent de Paul, SVST's patron saint. We uphold the belief that theology does not come from the centers of power but from the experiences in the margins.

    As theologians-in-process, students are trained to be sensitive to these voices from the rough grounds – voices most often excluded, muffled or suppressed.

    Theological education in SVST, therefore, is founded on critical thinking and starts with an informed analysis of society, a sympathetic sensibility on the experiences of the poor as starting point of theology (SEE). It also critically investigates on the development of the Christian tradition from its classical to contemporary developments, its prophetic role and its need to continual rethinking in order to respond to contemporary questions (JUDGE/DISCERN). It also leads students to find new ways and means to creatively respond to needs of our times, especially toward the liberation of the peoples (ACT).
