CAM 2 intends to promote, prepare and celebrate from within the Central American churches, endeavours to outline from three perspectives its identity: the communion (fellowship), so as to respond to its ecclesial nature; the mission, since it is its ultimate end; and the witness, since this perspective has profoundly marked the practice of evangelization of these churches characterized by its smallness, poverty and martyrdom.

For this reason we want a congress:
that strengthens communion
An encounter that will be ecclesial in its preparation and celebration and that, starting from the dynamics that Pope John Paul II offers us in "The Church in America", is put into continuity and communion with past congresses. A meeting of Churches that should be a true expression of the vitality of the people of God who live on each Local Church, especially of their laity, and that will help us create ecclesial processes of communion within the different Churches of the continent. An encounter that will open to the action of the Holy Spirit, to provoke an authentic salvific event for our Churches of today

that revitalizse mission:
An encounter of missionary animation that, at the beginning of the new millennium, gathers the fruits of the First Evangelization of the continent and succeeds in placing the people of God in contact with its own dynamism to recreate and revitalize the mission ad gentes in the Church. A moment of grace, kairos, in which all our local Churches express themselves as agents of mission and take up the challenges that the concrete situation demands of mission.

that animates the witness
An inculturate congress, which reflects the faces of the indigenous, the black, the peasant -campesinos, subsistent farmers-, the marginalised and all the People of God of the continent. A congress that, from poverty, littleness and martyrdom, will be Good News for everyone of the continent who experiences pain and exclusion. A congress where the witness of Christians -men and women- and the solidarity of the Churches and peoples of the continent, pushes for a new evangelization and generates a spirituality of mission and commitment of witness.
