MEETING BETWEEN PONTIFICAL COUNCIL FOR CULTURE AND AFRICAN AMBASSADORS TO THE
HOLY SEE
Vatican City, 22 March 2012 (VIS) - The Pontifical Council for Culture is
organising a meeting of ambassadors to the Holy See from Africa. The event,
due to be held in Rome on 26 March, aims to promote cooperation between the
council and countries that
are geographically distant from the Vatican. This is the second initiative of
its kind, a similar meeting was held last year with ambassadors to the Holy
See from Asia.
The programme of the event is divided into several parts and will be held at
more than one venue. The first part of the day will be devoted to a detailed
presentation of the Pontifical Council for Culture by Cardinal Gianfranco
Ravasi and Bishop
Barthelemy Adoukonou, respectively president and secretary of that dicastery.
The ambassadors will also have a chance to intervene and make proposals for
collaboration. The session will be moderated by Fr. Theodore Mascarenhas
S.F.X., head of the
department for cultures in Africa.
Participants will then move on to the Temple of Hadrian where they will be
welcomed by Giancarlo Cremonesi, president of Rome's Chamber of Commerce who
will describe the activities of the organisation he heads. There will also be
a detailed cultural
introduction to the historical and present day aspects of the temple. The day
will end with a visit to Rome's "Parco della Musica" Auditorium.
According to an English-language note released today, "the Pontifical Council
for Culture has been receiving very active collaboration from different
embassies. The event intends to strengthen further the ties between the
embassies and the dicastery and
to evolve new ways for cultural cooperation. Twenty-three Embassies have
confirmed their participation".
