Advisory Service
For some years, an advisory service has been offered in Brazil to the Christian communities and the pastoral agents on themes related to being black and pastoral work. Racism and identity, the history of the Christianity in Brazil, inculturation, Bible and Black Consciousness, Churchs relations with Afro-Brazilian religions, are the principal themes of the meetings in which we are participated from an ecumenical perspective, offering also papers for personal or group studies, and research.
Work in peripheral areas, together with Basic Christian Communities (CEBs), Negro Pastoral Agents (APNs) and Ecumenical Center of Biblical Studies (CEBI), characterize our commitment, methodology and the focus of the meetings.
