Author Guidelines

APMS welcomes articles from within EAPI (staff members, guest lecturers, visiting professors, alumni) as well as from contributors beyond EAPI. Articles are to be submitted to the Editor (apms@eapi.org. ph). Although the journal is not an “academic” or “peer-reviewed” publication dealing with theoretical questions or research, manuscripts are screened for good theological and pastoral quality and undergo editorial revision of style, spelling, and footnotes as needed.

The journal’s focus is on practical theology, that is, the application of biblical and theological insights to different forms of pastoral and missionary praxis, in view of stimulating discernment, critical thinking, and the exchange of ideas and experiences; promoting greater awareness of pressing issues, developments, and events that affect church life and ministry; and fostering liturgical creativity and improved ministerial skills. The focus is on Asia and the Pacific, though not exclusively. For more details, please contact the Editor (apms@eapi.org.ph).
