Symposium on the
Word of God: 50 years of
the Constitution Dei Verbum
Date: 11 to 13 February 2016
Location: Rome (In cooperation with
the PUST - Angelicum)
Coordination: Fr. Konstanc Adam, Pontifical University of St. Thomas Aquinas - Fr. Marcel Sigrist, Biblical
School of Jerusalem - Fr. Guido Vergauwen, Faculty of Theology of Fribourg (Switzerland)
The academic institutions under the immediate jurisdiction of the
Master of the Order will also join the celebrations of the Jubilee Year
through an event that responds to the central theme: Sent to preach
the Gospel. Under the coordination of a steering committee, they will
organize a symposium about the 50th anniversary of the Vatican II Dogmatic Constitution on Divine Revelation, Dei Verbum.
This Symposium will feature four thematic areas:
1) Revelation in an interfaith context;
2) Scripture and Tradition in ecumenical and historical context;
3) Prophecy and interpretation in the formation of community and humanity;
4) New ways of preaching.
Province of Poland, as host of this event, has been working on the preparation of
a Dominican presence at WYD in Krakow.
Coordination: Steering Committee of the Jubilee - Dominican Liturgical Commission Provincial and local superiors - Provincial Promoters for the Jubilee
The General Chapter of Trogir recommended that in order to provide spaces of renewal and healing of our fraternal relations, all communities include at least once
a year a time of communal reconciliation among the brothers (ACG Trogir, 66).
In response to this invitation, and extending it to all communities of the Dominican Family, the Steering Committee of the Jubilee, with the help of the
Dominican Liturgical Commission propose a common guide for a communal
celebration of the sacrament of reconciliation. Provinces and local communities
are invited to keep in their calendars a space for this celebration during the time
of Lent of 2016.
Chapter of Trogir
asked that the Jubilee
celebration be an opportunity to
present not only the artistic heritage of
the Order, but also the work of contemporary
Dominican artists who are in dialogue with the
artistic world and who preach through it.
From 7 November 2016, an art exhibition will take place
in Rome with the participation of artists from different
branches of the Dominican Family and from various regions
of the world. It will be an opportunity to rediscover the wealth
of forms, colors and styles that characterize the preaching of the
Order today.
Coordination: Fr. Mike Deeb Delegation of the Order to the United Nations
- Promoters for Justice and Peace
Many Dominicans throughout history have understood that the mission of
preaching the Gospel goes directly to the defense of human dignity. The General Chapter of Trogir asked that, within the activities of the Jubilee Year, there
will be an event dedicated to the legacy of Fray Francisco de Vitoria and the
implications of his thought for the challenges posed by human rights today
(cf. ACG Trogir 61, 7).
This event will also be an opportunity to make known and promote the work
of many brothers and sisters accompanied by two instances of the worldwide
Order: the Delegation of the Order to the United Nations, and the Salamanca
Process that has been developing in several provinces and Dominican universities.
