From 16 to 19 September 2024, at the Provincial Headquarters of Albano Laziale (RM), the second meeting, in person, of the Training Course for those involved in Pastoral Care in Italy was held. Don Ivo Seghedoni, parish priest and Professor of Pastoral Theology – Modena – facilitated, as in previous meetings, the deepening of some valid ideas of the ‘Second Announcement’, focusing our attention on the theme: ‘A new face of God, a new face of the Church’.
Within a cultural and religious panorama that has completely changed and through the reading and analysis of some experiences of people, different in age, social, cultural and religious conditions, we had the opportunity to ask ourselves:
What face of God are we responsible for?
What conversion to make the representation of God evolve?.
Another Church…another God?
Clothed air? From the parish to the non-parish.
It was a challenging and at the same time engaging journey, because it revealed to us that the practice of Jesus and the apostles was nothing other than that of meeting, listening, relating, accompanying the people encountered along the way.
And us? Church within the Church, how do we position ourselves? We are all invited to let the ‘Gospel – Good News’ shatter certainties and respond to doubts, to walk as people and with the people of ‘today’.
