EUROPE/ITALY - Growing synergy among religious engaged in evangelisation through culture and publications: in January 2005 third meeting for operators in the sector

Thursday, 19 February 2004

Rome (Fides Service) - An increasing number of religious congregations are putting energies, funds and human resources into print and electronic media to evangelise culture. With this in mind the Union of Superiors General (USG) is planning the 3rd Meeting for Religious in the Publishing sector 27, 28 and 29 January 2005, following two previous meetings in Rome in 2002 and 2003.
The 2005 Meeting will be prepared by a Commission which aims to increase sharing of information and knowledge among operators in the sector and to draft a memorandum to elaborate a common programme of concrete joint initiatives. The respective Generalates will indicate operators and projects to involve in the organisation of the Meeting.
Emerging from this journey is a strong desire to promote synergy among the different institutes and publishers, from the search for authors to the publication on the market. Other shared needs regard reflection on the role of the laity and ethics in Catholic business.
