Sydney (Agenzia Fides) - "Mercy: a way of being in the world" is the title of the new eConference (web conference) organized for September 20 by Broken Bay Institute, in the eponymous Australian dioceses, specialized in online communication on theological and spiritual topics.

"We believe that the eConference is an extension of the formation of faith in contemporary era and in a contemporary environment" explained Gerard Goldman, CEO of the Institute. In an institute that makes theological and spiritual formation its mission, "we believe it is our responsibility to provide all the faithful who can connect online a resource and a free in-depth analysis", continued Goldman.
