"The Prophecy of the Gospel for the Life of All" - Towards the Sunday of the Word of God
Sub-region of Southern and Western Europe and Central European sub-region the of the Catholic Biblical Federation organised a teleconference on the topic: ""The Prophecy of the Gospel for the Life of All" - Towards the Sunday of the Word of God".
Putting the biblical Scriptures at the center of religious formation and daily life, for those who are Christian and for those of other cultural inspiration: this goal appears increasingly important in the rich and fragmented European continent to make relations between people and the economic and political choices of the present and the future. The second edition of the “Sunday of the Word of God” (24.1.2021) wants to make a contribution in this direction also in Europe. In this meeting we will propose some reflections, which analyze two biblical texts of that Sunday liturgy and make us understand the value of their message for contemporary life. Competent and passionate representatives from various European regions, from the west and east will speak.
The conference took place Online on January 22, 2021 from 5:00 to 6:30 PM GMT (London time). It was hosted by the General Secretariat of the Catholic Biblical Federation in cooperation with the Friends of the CBF.
