The ideas of this meeting also served to shed light on the reflections of the Synod Fathers during the recent Synod for the Pan-Amazonian region.
"This meeting in Santarém proposed lines of evangelization that marked the missionary action of the Amazonian communities and contributed to the formation of a solid ecclesial conscience", writes the Pope. In addition to recalling the pastoral lines drawn at that time, the event also focuses on the application of the indications that emerged from the Synod for the Amazon. This is the exhortation that Pope Francis addressed to the participants of the Santarém meeting (IV Encontro da Igreja Católica na Amazônia Legal) which is taking place from June 6 to 9 in the same place that hosted the representatives of the Amazonian Churches in 1972. Santarem (Agenzia Fides) - "Be courageous and daring, opening yourselves with trust to the action of God who created everything, gave himself to us in Jesus Christ and inspires us with the Spirit to proclaim the Gospel with a new commitment and contemplate the beauty of creation, even more exuberant in these Amazonian lands, where we experience the luminous presence of the Risen One".
