The purpose of the trip to Vietnam (12-18 January 1997) was to check on members of the Maryknoll Mission Association of the Faithful in my role as MMAF Asia Area Coordinator. Each year the MMAF Area Coordinators try to visit each member where she or he lives and works.
You can find below, sections on:
General Impressions of Vietnam Various Learnings Religious Freedom The Vietnam War Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum and Museum Detention Center Bui Chu The Hanoi Seminary |
The Maryknoll people who work in Vietnam felt that my comments about my trip there could be misinterpreted or seen as undue criticism if they were seen by some officials in Vietnam so I have removed those sections from this document.
