SUMMARY of the CONFERENCE CALL 26 September 2015
TOWARDS A NEW ERA. MUTUAL LOVE AMONG PEOPLES
In this Conference Call, we will go to Cuba with Pope Francis, we’ll climb a mountain (almost for real), we’ll cut wood in the Czech Republic, we’ll get to know who live in the huge refugee camps in Northern Thailand, in Austria we’ll welcome refugees from Syria, we will hear from those who live in Damascus if hope still exists, we’ll sign an appeal to make hope a reality… This and much more will take us to the message of Chiara Lubich that even after many years still talks of courageous prophecy.
