In that context, most religious communities have been led to use or find new means of communication in order to break down the isolation and stay in touch. This webinar will be aimed at encouraging an exchange about the field of communication among leaders in order to identify the communication models existing in their congregation and the awareness that the pandemic has fostered.

The climate crisis and global pandemic have made it starkly clear that old economic ideas are not working. To chart a new future, we need to challenge the accepted idea that economic growth and gross domestic product (GDP) should be key societal goals. How might we reimagine and reorient economics to focus on care for each other and the Earth, our common home?
Religious leadership has been facing major challenges for several years. The decline in vocations, the aging of consecrated persons, the management of the material and spiritual heritage are all challenges that burden the reality of religious leadership. Beyond questions of governance, we can reflect upon the spiritual intelligence of leadership, its styles and inspirations. How can religious and episcopal leadership mutually enrich one another? What are the post-pandemic perspectives for consecrated life and its place in the Church as a whole?
