This essay appraises the history of the International Academy of Practical Theology (IAPT), arguing that competing aims have pulled it in different directions. The essay arose initially out of a roundtable on IAPT at an international congress in São Leopoldo, Brazil, in preparation for the next biennial conference there in 2019. Why is there a need for the IAPT? What are some of its developments? Why is it important for South America and Brazil? In response, the essay suggests that the IAPT has struggled to sustain at least two prominent commitments – a desire to enhance practical theology’s scholarly visibility and acumen and a real need to become a genuinely international organisation in terms of representation and inclusion. A secondary argument woven through the essay is that collegial friendships across complicated differences of location and perspective have the capacity to moderate and even heal conflicts.

After the formation of the Conference Group for Central European History in December, 1957, and the appointment by it of a Committee to promote Studies of the History of the Habsburg Monarchy, the present writer, in his capacity as executive secretary of this committee, made a survey of publications and research projects in the United States and Canada which dealt with the history of the Habsburg monarchy and of Austria and Hungary since 1918. A preliminary report of the results of this investigation was distributed in 1958 and a revised and enlarged one in January, 1960. Although this list, which was based largely on questionnaires, was by no means complete, the survey showed that by 1959 43 books and 183 articles had been published in Habsburg, Austrian, and Hungarian history by 63 different United States and Canadian scholars. Most of these writers indicated that they were also busily engaged in research activities which gave promise that an appreciable number of further studies would be published within the next decade or two.
