 Catholic leaders and scholars will meet to Bagamoyo to examine the pastoral prospects for new evangelization in the face of globalization and its effects on African cultures.
The congress, organised by the Pontifical Council for Culture, aims to provide a new impulse to the pastoral approach to culture, according to a statement from the council. Close attention will be paid to the evangelization of cultures, with a special emphasis on matters related to secularization.
The event will take place from July 23 to 26 at the Catholic Cultural Centre Bagamoyo, run by the Spiritan Fathers. |
