At a recent meeting on the theme of biblical formation attended by about 800 pastoral workers, the diocese of Macapa (capital of the state of Amapa), Brazil launched a plan of pas-toral action aimed at encouraging the faithful to read the Bible and form Bible study groups in their parishes. “Bible circles” first emerged in the country’s basic Christian communities with the purpose of helping Catholics to not only read the Word of God but also apply it to their daily lives.
The FSPs, who participated in the Macapa meeting, made available to everyone useful study aids that will be a great help to those who carry out the ministry of catechesis and biblical-pastoral formation.
