Inspired by Psalm 8’s “Who am I that you care for me?”, the discussions, performances, and interactive exhibits at this year’s Encounter sought to underscore, in ways both subtle and explicit, God’s intimate affection for each person, detectable amidst every aspect of reality. The distinctness of this annual three-day cultural event, put on by the ecclesial movement Communion and Liberation in the heart of New York City, was on display yet again at this year’s installment, which took place Feb. Then again, nothing else on offer in the American ecclesial landscape is quite like the New York Encounter.
NEW YORK - It’s not every Catholic event that allows an attendee to listen to the testimony of a mother whose son was publicly executed by ISIS, experience an exhibit on the earth’s geological formation, and top it off with Sunday Mass celebrated by an American cardinal, all under one roof.
