Faith and the present in the Spain-Americas dialogue
One of the main themes of this year's congress is understanding the relationship between the Americas and Spain not only through their shared past but through the challenges and opportunities of the present. Business leaders, politicians, intellectuals and representatives of civil society and the Church will take part in discussions reaching beyond history to the current challenges facing a community united by the Catholic faith.
