	Society of Jesus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Jesuit priests and brothers are engaged in ministries in 112 nations on six continents.
		The Jesuits’ contributions to the late Renaissance were significant in their roles both as a missionary order and as the first religious order to operate colleges and universities as a principal and distinct ministry.
		Jesuit scholars working in these foreign missions were very important in understanding their unknown languages and strived for producing Latinicized grammars and dictionaries, the first organized efforts at linguistics.

	JRS - Jesuit Relief Service in the Thai / Cambodian Border Refugee Camps
		For refugees in the region this was a time of diminished hopes, of realisation that there would be no quick path to resettlement while the prospects of returning to a free and peaceful life in their own countries also remained small and distant.
		Furthermore, while advocacy of the refugees cause through effective publicity promised good results, it was sobering to remember that tendentious reporting and the subordination of complex truth to the simple demands of a cause had contributed to their sufferings in the past.
		The generosity with which the Jesuits of the Thai region had welcomed and provided hospitality to JRS workers was only one example of the support and welcome given to the Society's commitment to refugees, but for many and understandable reasons, the provinces were slow to make these initiatives their own.

	Society_of_Jesus
		The term "Jesuit" (of fifteenth-century origin, meaning one who used too frequently or appropriated the name of Jesus), was first applied to the Society in reproach (1544-52), and was never employed by its founder, though members and friends of the Society in time accepted the name in its positive meaning.
		Jesuit scholars working in these foreign missions to the "heathens" were very important in understanding their unknown languages and strived for producing Latinicized grammars and dictionaries, the first organized efforts at linguistics.
		Among the notable Jesuits of the 20th century, John Courtney Murray, SJ, was called one of the "architects of the Second Vatican Council" and drafted what eventually became the council's endorsement of religious freedom,Dignitatis Humanae Personae.

	JRS in the Thai / Cambodian Border Refugee Camps
		While the Jesuits resident in Thailand had supported the ministry to refugees with great generosity, a substantial Jesuit commitment to refugees in Thailand would need to be based on good personal relationships with the other Jesuits of the Thai region and on clear guidelines for their work.
		It was suggested that Jesuits should commit themselves to serve the Cambodians in the camps, in the hope eventually of accompanying them on their return to Cambodia.
		While it was insisted that Jesuits should not adopt a political role, the proposal inevitably implied support for the institutions and leadership in the camps.

	Jesuit Refugee Service Thailand - Introduction to Thailand
		Thailand is host to more than 143.000 Burmese refugees living in camps near the Thai-Burma border; thousands of people also live outside the camps without being recognized as refugees.
		Many of the refugees have now lived in the camps for 15 to 20 years; many more of them live as internally displaced people in the Burma jungle.
		Urban refugees are often quite invisible for aid workers or are expected to be able to be self-reliant, and therefore do not always get the attention they deserve as human beings.

		Thus each Jesuit ministry should work to deepen its particular implementation of our full mission of faith and justice, which cannot but be enriched by efforts towards a more effective dialogue and inculturation.
		Jesuit institutions can use the following means to help in implementing our mission: institutional evaluation of the role they play in society, examination of whether the institution's own internal structures and policies reflect our mission, collaboration and exchange with similar institutions in diverse social and cultural contexts, continuing formation of personnel regarding mission.

		Rome (AsiaNews) - The spiritual meaning and values represented by the world’s refugees are at the heart of 25th anniversary celebrations of the Jesuit Refugee Service (JRS).
		It was the suffering of Asian boat people, and also of Eritrean and Somali refugees in Rome, which moved the former Jesuit superior-general, Pedro Arrupe SJ, to set up JRS “as a material, spiritual and pedagogical response” to their needs.
		Jesuits, other religious and lay people have responded to this call, contributing to the steady growth of JRS over the years; many have shared their testimonies, biblical reflections and articles based on the spirituality of St Ignatius (the founder of the Jesuits) in the book, God in Exile.

	Welcome - JRS Australia
		JRS Australia recognises the Australian government's desire to facilitate reform in the international system of protection for refugees and asylum seekers but believes that, in this case, the proposals have little likelihood of achieving their stated aims and rather are likely to put the human rights of asylum claimants unnecessarily at risk.
		In the absence of clear information regarding how the claims are to be processed it is tantamount to punishing asylum seekers because of the manner in which they arrived on Australian soil, likewise in breach of the Convention.
		JRS Australia believes that the proposed amendments unrealistically shift the burden of responsibility to other states in a manner that is unlikely to be embraced by those states.
