Debate on vocational ministry
The ‘Third vocational formation school’ promoted by the Brasil Centro-Norte province was celebrated from Jan. 18 – 22 in Ribeirão das Neves, Brazil.
Seventy-two participants attended the encounter, including diocesan priests and religious, who came from 37 congregations and religious institutions from all over Brazil.
This third edition covered illuminated biblical elements in the process of vocational animation, affectivity and sexuality in vocational accompaniment, and vocational theography.
Other topics that were discussed were psychological aspects of accompanying vocations, the experience of faith as a fundamental dimension in the vocational process, faith as a healing experience and vocational pedagogy.
The vocational school is divided into three main areas: anthropological and theological, psychological and spiritual, and experiential.
It aims to provide a theoretical and experiential formation that provides spaces of debate and deepening of the different experiences in these fields.
