XXVI Conferenza sulla pastorale della salute
Thursday, 01 December 2011 15:47
Dal 24 al 26 Novembre si è tenuta in Vaticano la XXVI conferenza internazionale organizzata dal Pontificio Consiglio per gli Operatori Sanitari, sul tema: “La pastorale sanitaria a servizio della vita alla luce del Magistero del Beato Giovanni Paolo II”.
L’evento è stato realizzato per fare in modo che “l’insegnamento del Beato Giovanni Paolo II sul Vangelo della Vita e la sua traduzione nell’opera pastorale della Chiesa, richiamino gli operatori pastorali e sanitari e tutti gli uomini di buona volontà all’amore ed al servizio alla vita, soprattutto se debole e sofferente”.
L’intenso programma ha previsto relazioni, testimonianze ed esperienze di carattere teologico-pastorale ispirate all’insegnamento di Giovanni Paolo II riguardanti il valore cristiano della sofferenza e il Vangelo della vita, trattate in un’ottica interdisciplinare.

We often forget that our cities are living, breathing organisms that are constantly being changed to reflect the needs and demands of its citizens. In essence, we live in a Sim City – a city that is being built and maintained and developed constantly. Perhaps we can reengage citizens by creating an experience that reflects that.
