First source report
The 30th Congress of the German Catholic aid organization Renovabis concluded on September 18 in Freising, Germany. More than 200 experts from 26 countries met to discuss social polarization, digital echo chambers, and how churches can help build social cohesion.
During the event, Cardinal Mario Grech described synodality as an antidote to polarization. Participants also emphasized the importance of dialogue, solidarity, and building community across divisions. The congress featured the presentation of the first Dialogue Award.
The next Renovabis gathering is scheduled for 2027 in Berlin. That meeting will focus on mental health in parts of Eastern Europe affected by war and social upheaval.
