Communicationes
Avila - Spain (13-07-2010).- Avila’s International Centre of Teresa and John of the Cross (CITeS – Centre of Mysticism) will be offering an Internet transmission of the Ist. International Teresian Congress on ‘The Book of Her Life’.
Sources from CITeS inform us that it will be possible to follow the entire Congress (23-31 August in Avila) on the Internet. The Centre will provide a website (www.teresadeavila.org) and registrations will be open to the general public. All the proceedings of the Congress will be available in Spanish, Italian, English or French.
Various options are available for registration. The basic rate is 50 Euro per person with a special price of 100 Euro for Religious Communities. Collaborators and benefactors may be especially generous and pay 150 Euro each.
This is undoubtedly a very welcome initiative, providing an opportunity for world-wide diffusion of these international Carmelite Congresses during the Order’s preparation for the 5th Centenary of the birth of St. Teresa.
More than 30 speakers from different countries will take part in this first Congress. Notably among them will be Archbishops Ricardo Blázquez of Valladolid and Jean Sleiman of Bagdad as well as other well-known Teresian scholars, Frs. Tomás Álvarez, Secundino Castro, Maximiliano Herráiz…Apart from studying the central themes of St. Teresa’s ‘Life’, the Congress will address many other complimentary subjects, such as the Saint’s input on family life, politics, the lay state, consecrated life etc…
Travelling Exposition
At 5 p.m. on 23 August, the opening day of the Congress, an exposition relating to St. Teresa’s ‘Life’ will be inaugurated. This proposes to be a didactic survey of the content and history of this particular work of the Saint. It includes the first printed editions of the ‘Life’ and its numerous translations to other languages.
The expo will remain on view in Avila until the 15 September and will then be brought to all parts of Spain.
