Conceptual model
Jesus says, “I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life.” (John 14:6) reflecting living out, knowing and celebrating God’s presence in our lives. The Church in turn identifies her works as Diakonia (Service), Kergyma (Proclamation), and Liturgia (Worship) or reflecting the Ethical, Existential, and Symbolic dimensions of the Church. Our conceptual framework can take into consideration the multi-dimensional facet of the Church’s existence and mission, and thus that of the Conference too.
Vision of Church
Jesus says, “I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life.” (John 14:6). The Church in turn identifies her works as Diakonia (Service), Kergyma (Proclamation), and Liturgia (Worship) or reflecting the Ethical, Existential, and Symbolic dimensions of the Church.
We keep in mind the vision of the Church that Vatican Council II and Pope Francis invites us to become – a more merciful, missionary and People of God Church that animates and lives out synodality at various levels.
Likewise, we are reminded of the call of the Federation of Asian Bishops’ Conference (FABC) over the past 50 years – to live Mission through Dialogue with the Poor, Cultures, and Religions (or a triple dialogue).
The structures of the Bishops’ Conference and Secretariat is to serve this vision.
