The Asian Lay Leaders (ALL) Forum held the Moving School Vietnam on April 13–18 at the Benjamin Retreat House, Ho Chi Minh City, with the Saigon Pastoral Center as the host and the Lead Like Jesus organization as the local organizer.
The program was about "Youth Promoting Good Catholics and Good Citizens by Working for the Poor and Marginalized in a Rapidly Changing Vietnam."
There were as many as 38 participants from different parts of Vietnam.
“We are grateful for the cooperation, support, and participation of all in the program,” said Felicia Dian Ravenska Parera, program coordinator at the Asian Lay Leader Forum.
"Moving School" for youth is one of the Asian Lay Leaders Forum's initiatives to promote religious plurality and dialogue among Asian religions and cultures.
The Asian Lay Leaders Forum aims to provide young Catholic youth, including pastoral workers, social activists, and NGO leaders, with Catholic social teachings (CSTs), Asian theologies as contextual theology, and the “Pastoral Spiral” approach of the Federation of Asian Bishops’ Conferences (FABC) for building more peaceful, just, and ecologically sound societies in Asia.
It also provides systematic formation for youth leaders, among others.
Radio Veritas Asia (RVA), a media platform of the Catholic Church, aims to share Christ. RVA started in 1969 as a continental Catholic radio station to serve Asian countries in their respective local language, thus earning the tag “the Voice of Asian Christianity.” Responding to the emerging context, RVA embraced media platforms to connect with the global Asian audience via its 21 language websites and various social media platforms.
