Sydney (Agenzia Fides) – The Australian Catholic Bishops Conference and the Broken Bay Institute are expecting thousands across the country and the globe to participate in an upcoming Jesus the Christ eConference on September 16. It is the fourth eConference they have sponsored and already over 355 sites have signed up for the event. Bishop David Walker, a member of the Bishops Commission for Mission and Faith Formation, said the popularity of previously organised eConferences "shows that people are hungry for really good quality adult faith formation and opportunities to come together as parish communities or workplace communities to reflect on the Gospel and to really allow the Gospel to have a living, active role in our daily lives.” The previous three eConferences shared enormous success bringing together more than 30,000 people each time across 26 countries.
