Liturgy and Sacred Space

(First coverage 28th of June, 2012)

In the rapidly changing circumstances of the Catholic Church, the use of liturgical space as an authentic expression of faith presents a crucial challenge for new evangelization. 

Therefore the Tiltenberg, the centre for religious formation of the Diocese of Haarlem-Amsterdam, has organized a two-day international conference entitled “Liturgy and Sacred Space” on the 5th and 6th of November of 2012. Due to the large amount of foreign speakers the conference will be in English. 

The conference is open to diverse audiences of all dioceses.
