August, 2001
A song composed by Malaysian scholastic Eddie Dass and Philippine Jesuit
Fr. Johnny Go, and produced by the Philippines' Jesuit Music Ministry
called "Let Your Spirit" was made into a music video and aired
on MTV Asia
recently. It is extremely rare for MTV to broadcast a song with
religious
content. The song is one of 15 tracks on JMM's CD "Something
More," which
has recently reached the top sales charts in some music stores in the
Philippines. Contact jcf@pusit.admu.edu.ph

Fuellenbach, SVD, Victor Salanga, SJ, Jose de Mesa, PhD, Chito Tagle, and
Mario Francisco, SJ. The topics and treatment are especially

the contemporary needs of the Asian Church. Mandarin, Thai, Burmese,

During a July meeting of the International Study Commission on Religion,
Media and Culture in Bangkok, JESCOMEAO together with other Asian
participants formed an "Asian-Pacific Communications Network".
This
network will comprise a pool of competent, dedicated and mobile Asian
communicators, inspired by values of the Gospel and other religions, who
volunteer to respond generously and rapidly to communication needs in the
region. For information, contact augyl@tm.net.my
