A
meeting to present the book “Why the Church” by Luigi
Giussani, founder of Communion and Liberation
On 12th May 2004 more than 250
people gathered together in the prestigious setting of Trinity
College Dublin for a meeting to mark the launch of the English
edition of “Why the Church” in Ireland. Among the
audience were ambassadors, the Apostolic Nuncio, members of the
clergy and many lay people from all walks of life in Ireland.
The meeting was chaired by Margaret Biondi, representing Communion
and Liberation in Ireland. The first of the speakers was Alberto
Savorana, editor of Traces magazine. He was followed by a Protestant
Minister and Professor of Theology. The final speaker was the
Archbishop of Dublin, the Most Reverend Diarmuid Martin, making
one of his first public appearances as Archbishop.
The meeting lasted for almost 2 hours with the audience having
the opportunity to ask questions at the end. We present here the
interventions of two of the speakers and a report from Traces
Magazine.
