Pacifica is owned by the Pacifica Theological
Studies Association, which was formed in 1987 to publish a scholarly journal
covering all aspects of theology and to provide a forum for theologians of
Australasia and the West Pacific Basin. Pacifica serves the needs of scholars
and students in responding to the challenges facing the Christian Church today
and in the future. It also brings the unique contribution of Australasia and the
West Pacific to the international Church and the international community of
scholars. The Pacifica Theological Studies Association arose out of a meeting of
theologians held at Catholic Theological College in Melbourne in 1986 and was
incorporated in 1987-88.
The founding of Pacifica would have been impossible without the initial generous
financial support received from many individuals, religious orders, dioceses and
archdioceses in Australia. In 1992 Pacifica was adopted by the Melbourne College
of Divinity as its journal, and the College continues to provide sponsorship
funding. From 2001 Pacifica has also enjoyed the support of Sydney College of Divinity,
the Auckland Consortium for Theological Education (ACTE), the Griffith University (Qld) School of
Theology, and the Institute for Religious Education and Pastoral Ministry, Boston College USA. In 2003 the School of Theology University
of Auckland took over from ACTE as a corporate sponsor of Pacifica . From 2005 Pacifica also enjoys
the support of the Department of Theology and Religious Studies at the University of Otago.
