A conversation on the Encounter’s theme in light of Where is God?: Christian Faith in the Time of Great Uncertainty (McGill-Queen’s University Press) by Fr. Julián Carrón with Fr. Julián Carrón, president of the Fraternity of Communion and Liberation, Ami Dar, founder and executive director of Idealist.org, and Aaron Riches, professor of theology at Benedictine College, moderated by Fr. José Medina, U.S. coordinator of Communion and Liberation
Can we meet God in our “liquid,” contemporary society? And how does one communicate the Christian faith in a social context characterized by pervasive secularization and creeping and widespread relativism? Fr. Julián Carrón, president of Communion and Liberation, answers these and other interwoven questions in Where is God?, a new book-length interview with veteran Vatican analyst Andrea Tornielli. In the current situation, Christianity can contribute to the re-humanization of society only if it is witnessed in its true nature and proposed in its originality as an event of life, a fascinating and concrete presence of a new humanity. Only then can Christianity free people from ideology. If, instead, Christianity is presented as just another system of ideas and moral practices, it can easily become an ideology, making it part of the problem and not the solution.
