CSCA: Glimpses from the Diocesan Digest on
the Diocese of Singapore in the mid 1970s
Compiled by Keith Leong and Michael Poon
From 1974 to 1975,
the Diocesan Digest, a monthly magazine published by the Diocese of
Singapore, featured articles on the histories and current ministries of the
parishes in the Diocese. This series of short articles, written by the Diocesan
clergy, is important for two reasons: (1) they reflected how the clergy
interpreted their histories and present work ten years after Singapore became an
independent nation in 1965, and then was ecclesiastically separated from West
Malaysia; (2) they provided a systematic survey of the parishes before Singapore
churches at large were caught up in the "charismatic movements" in the eighties.
