Del 6 al 8 de septiembre de 2024 celebraremos el 43 Congreso de Teología, como venimos haciendo ininterrumpidamente desde 1981.

La paz y la justicia están ausentes en nuestro mundo. En cambio, las guerras están presentes por doquier. Por eso el tema elegido este año es Guerra y paz: ¿hay salida a la vista?
