History, objectives and theological content of the OMI magazine “Mrówczy Ślad” (1968-1980)

Summary/Abstract: The essay treats about one of the three missionary magazines, published by underground press in the Polish People’s Republic, “Mrówczy Ślad”. The publishers, the Missionary Oblates of Mary Immaculate (OMI), were engaged in missionary work in North Canada, Ceylon, Cameroon and Madagascar. The objectives of the magazine were (a) information about the Church and missionary work of OMI; (b) mission awareness of the faithful; (c) fundraising for the missions; (d) education; (e) vocation promotion; (f) formation; (g) missiology. The OMI used it to inform about their current missionary activities, history of their missions and some of their outstanding missionaries and letters from missionaries. They also printed articles on etnography, i.e. texts about cultures and customs of the people among whom their missionaries worked and the missionary methods they employed.
