In the tradition of the Catholic Church there have been Conferences of Bishops, however, CEAMA is the only Ecclesial Conference of the Universal Church for a region.
From August 8 to 11, 2023, the ordinary Presential Assembly of the Ecclesial Conference of the Amazon - CEAMA will be held at the Maromba Retreat House of the Archdiocese of Manaus.
The event will gather about 70 participants from the 9 countries of the Amazon Biome: Antilles (Guyana, Suriname and French Guyana), Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru and Venezuela.
The objective of this meeting is to strengthen the identity of this ecclesial and representative organism, the sense of belonging with the motto We are Ceama, define the lines of pastoral action and build joint strategies to visualize its ecclesial horizon.
What is the Ecclesial Conference of the Amazon - CEAMA?
CEAMA is the fruit of the Amazon Synod, which was held in October 2019 and from which emerged Dear Amazonia, Apostolic Exhortation of Pope Francis with its four dreams for the Catholic Church in the Amazon: social, cultural, ecological and ecclesial.
It was officially founded on June 29, 2020 and is currently a representative organism of the Church in the Amazon with legal, canonical and public status.
Its objective is to help delineate the Amazonian face of the Church and promote new paths for the evangelizing mission, incorporating the proposal of integral ecology.
One of the challenges as a unique Ecclesial Conference in the Universal Church is to walk in synodality, that is, to walk together as people of God based on the encounter and active listening in the light of the Holy Spirit.
