Earlier this month, the USCCA laid the groundwork for bridges of friendship and understanding at our 29th International Conference, where over 135 scholars and practitioners from lay and religious backgrounds learned from each other about theology, history, and the life of the Church in China.
Conference attendees traveled from the US, mainland China, Hong Kong, Singapore, Taiwan, Italy, and Canada. Even if you were unable to attend this year's conference, we invite you to share in it by viewing the latest conference blogs:
In Finding God in All Things, a review of Cardinal Stephen Chow's conference video message reminds us of the reality of bridge-building and the importance of durable friendships.
In Always a message of hope, Board Director Emeritus Tom McGuire shares quotes from conference participants and reflects on the Conference Theme of "Our Hope is In Christ" in connection with Catholicism and the Church in China.
In ...Add oil*..., a brief review of one of our parallel sessions encourages us to meditate on how we might apply a Hong Kong English expression to offer encouragement to our neighbors and friends.
In The Dialogue, Tom McGuire reflects on how conference participants enacted and experienced the reality of dialogue as it is described by Pope Paul VI in Ecclesiam Suam.
In God is on the Move, a parallel session on social services in China challenges us to consider how the Conference Theme, "Our Hope is In Christ," might inform business and social services.
Finally, please consider our special request to you, our supporter:
Please consider donating to support our efforts to produce a documentary of the 29th International Conference, a publication of the conference proceedings, and recorded interviews with speakers and panelists.
This is an ambitious undertaking, and we need your support to bring our theme of "Our Hope is in Christ" to the broadest possible audience. Our goal is to raise $20,000 toward this effort. We hope we can count on your generous donation to underwrite this project. Your gifts will be recognized for your leadership in bringing this vision to fruition.
