<description>Being convivial means friendliness, liveliness, hospitableness which are basic elements of happiness. We assume conviviality is intrinsic to human nature and interactions with others and if it breaks down it feels that something has gone wrong. Many people today feel that their life with others is becoming less convivial because of the suspicions, fear, prejudice, competitiveness which characterise a techno-scientific world where traditional ways of meeting have broken down.

<description>Is religion finished? Or is it simply evolving? 

For too long, the role of faith has been dismissed as a pastime, an escape, or worse, a cause of conflict. But like art and music, we are hardwired for transcendence—and we can't be fully human without it.

That changes the question: What is the Future of Religion?

As contemplatives, we believe the answer lies in rediscovering the mystical core shared by every great tradition.

Join our 2026 global theme, The Future of Religion, as we ask critical questions and explore new paths in collaboration with global thinkers. Read Fr Laurence Freeman's full reflection at https://wccm.org/wccm/the-future-of-religion/

<description>Authentic spirituality is not above justice or human suffering. Spiritual truth is reflected in the gritty realities of the world whether it is honoured or denied. Feelings and relationships are part of our spiritual path but so too are social and political responsibilities. We are a single body, embodied in Christ. The old translation of St Paul`s phrase our conversation is in heaven sounds strange to us today. But reflect how our search for a peaceful world requires the recovery of the lost art of conversation – and we may see the link between silence and this fundamental value of civilisation.
