The 13th Continental Meeting of the Digital Network of the Latin American Churches (RIIAL)–an organization that relies on the support of the Pontifical Council for Social Communication–was recently held in Lima, Peru. The theme of this year’s meeting was Networks for a Culture of Meeting.
The event, which over the past 13 years has involved an increasing number of operators in the sector, was attended by representatives from Argentina, the Antilles, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Cuba, Ecuador, El Salvador, the United States, Spain, Guatemala, Italy, Paraguay, Puerto Rico, Uruguay and the Dominican Republic.
RIIAL, in coordination with the Pontifical Council for Social Communications and the Latin American Episcopal Conference, provides tools and opportunities for cultural and technological training in the field of new media to encourage bishops, priests and the laity in carrying out the mission to which they are called in the Church by organizing periodic meetings for ongoing formation in this field and encouraging the acquisition of technical information skills at a capillary level.
