CONCEPT NOTE

PURPOSE

ALL Forum has conducted the “Moving School” for Youth in many countries in Asia. The lay-centered umbrella body focused more on empowerment for the young lay people. It is not exaggerated to say that harmony and peace with different religious denominations, especially Islam as the major religion, and ethnic groups are the lifelines. On the other hand, strengthening the Christian identity among Church workers in countries where Christians are a minority is also crucial. Inwardly, solidarity should be made manifest with increased laity involvement in decision-making at all levels of the Church in order to serve the poor and marginalized more efficiently and effectively in the country. To achieve this goal, ALL Forum will promote various formation programs, especially for young lay leaders. We employ the Catholic Social Teachings (CSTs) as the main tool, as well as the spirit or principles of FABC like “Triple Dialogue” and “Pastoral Spiral Assessment” based on a dialectical methodology “from below”. As an effective spiritual formation, the youth forum emphasizes religious identity amid the all-things-mixed global world. As mentioned above, strengthening the Christian identity of the young is very urgent and relevant, because they need to be conscious of their role in evangelizing mission works, including protection of religious freedom through social welfare for the poor and marginalized, and nation-building works.

  • Witnessing the Gospel through Interreligious Collaboration for Common Good as Efficient Evangelization Method: Young lay leaders are invited to learn and become vibrant actors in promoting interfaith harmony leading to peace for ethnic groups and the country.
  • Providing “Asian Theologies and Spirituality” based on the Context of specific countries in Asia: The program will encourage lay people to become good church workers and activists by reflecting their concrete lives in the light of the Bible, in the dialogues with the poor, diverse cultures and religions.
  • Providing a New Vision and Spirit for Lay Leaders based on FABC & CSTs: The moving school is a youth forum that will be based on “integral human development” often expressed in Pope Francis’ documents like Joy of the Gospel, Laudato Si.
