       EAO Region Bangkok, 31 October 2022 -- The first ever General Conference of the Federation of Asian Bishops Conferences (FABC) has just concluded in Bangkok, Thailand. The general conference had some 226 delegates, which included 20 cardinals, 120 bishops, 37 priests, 8 religious sisters and 41 lay people coming from 29 Asia countries. Besides the FABC President Card. Charles Bo, SDB, there were a good number of Salesian bishops from East Asia and South Asia.

       This historic event brought together the leadership of all Asian Bishops Conferences to find new pathways for the mostly 'creative minority Churches' in the large continent with almost 2/3 of the world's population. Pope Francis sent his envoy, Cardinal Tagle, to this Conference expressing the hope that the FABC bishops follow the Latin America Federation of Bishops Conferences (CELAM) with its pastoral - missionary discernment mentality.

       On this special occasion was an updated FABC website with a rich virtual library of the FABC documents since 1970 until now (https://fabc.org) was launched, including the main contributions to this historic FABC First General Conference 2022.

       You can subscribe to the FABC YouTube channels with quite interesting videos, including also our Mongolia-Darkhan-based MHC Parish or the final Press video conference .
