8 towards authentic communication always with mission in mind. The main goal is to develop good critical theological understanding via a variety of speaking, reading, listening, and writing skills. As a Province, we have embarked upon the synodal journey process, which has helped us think through what we do well, what we could do differently, and what we could do better in the months and years to come as a religious missionary order for a missioncentered Church. On behalf of all the formators at Dorish Maru, we thank you for your continued support and encouragement of the work that we do in preparing future Divine Word Missionaries for world mission. We could not do what we do without you. Please continue to keep us in your prayers, invite us to visit your parishes, and encourage prospective candidates in your local parishes - especially those considering a religious missionary vocation - to come and see. As you navigate through the articles, we invite you to ponder the questions raised, engage with the arguments presented, and contribute your own voice to this ongoing conversation. Whether you are a seasoned theologian or a curious novice, there is something here for everyone. Theological inquiry demands courage - the courage to question, to doubt, and to seek truth even when it challenges our preconceived notions. It requires humility, acknowledging that our understanding is always limited and that there is always more to learn. And it necessitates a commitment to the pursuit of wisdom, recognising that the journey itself is as important as the destination. We are immensely proud of the work our contributors have done, and we are excited to share their insights with you. We hope that this journal will inspire you to embark on your own theological journey, to ask bold questions, and to seek deeper understanding. Thank you for joining us on this adventure. I wish you and yours blessed Advent and Christmas seasons. Thank you for your ongoing support of the work we do at Dorish Maru Theological House of Formation of the Divine Word Missionaries. Together, let us explore the boundless horizons of theology and discover the profound truths that await. In the Word, Albano Da Costa SVD
