The Maronite Church, Media and Communication
The Maronite Church is a mission and a testimony. It is blessed with a special ecumenical dimension among the Eastern and Western Churches owing to the role that God bestowed upon it. A role it fulfilled throughout its long spiritual and social history, especially in its modern revival and national process and in the relation that bonds its name to that of Lebanon, on which it endeavored to establish a pluralist and democratic country that serves as meeting point for Christianity and Islam and for East and West. Hence, media and communications seem to be the appropriate tool through which it can keep up with this pioneering role by giving it a wider and more effective dimension. In view of the current historical circumstances, the need seems dire to disseminate a humanistic culture based on the values of freedom, openness and human rights. This way justice and peace will be promoted and religious plurality, which forms the essence of Lebanon, will be guaranteed – Lebanon, which was described by Pope John Paul II as the lair of cultural values and the paradigm of coexistence, freedom and democracy.
