Archbishop Drexel Gomez's Retirement Address
The rampant individualism and selfishness of Western culture was the greatest single threat to the faith. Believers must surrender their lives to God and be faithful to him, rather than pursue their own moral, political or social agendas. The Church faces “the challenge of discernment and commitment” as it entered the 21st century, he said, urging the bishops to hold fast to the faith once delivered, and not succumb to the siren song of culture.

This website was set up after the 3rd South South Encounter in Oct '05 to carry the materials from the event and to follow-up work as laid out in the communiqués, especially the Third Trumpet. It has since become both a news site and a theological forum for issues of concern to Global South Provinces. Apart from official releases, the views of contributors here do not necessary represent that of the Global South Steering Committee. For more info on this site, click here.
