Troca de Cadeiras

Ricardo Rio, Mayor of Braga, and Mgr José Cordeiro, Archbishop of Braga, in a conversation moderated by professor and columnist Luís Santos. Today, the 16th, at 9.15pm, at the Faculty of Philosophy and Social Sciences in Braga.

Troca de Cadeiras is the name of the initiative that brings together Ricardo Rio, the mayor of Braga, and José Cordeiro, the archbishop of Braga. The meeting is organised by the Centro Académico de Braga (CAB), the Jesuit university centre in Braga, the association Acabados and the Comunidade de Vida Cristã de Braga (CVX), and will take place tomorrow, January 16, at 9.15pm, at the Catholic University's Faculty of Philosophy and Social Sciences. This is not an ‘improbable conversation’, but rather an exercise in getting to know the reality we inhabit better and giving reasons for our hope.

This meeting will be moderated by professor and chronicler Luís Santos, from the University of Minho, and aims to reveal, in a simple and unpretentious way, the depth of human, social, political, ecological, religious and spiritual paths in the world, in Portugal and in the city of Braga.

The organisers hope that the evening will make a significant contribution to the personal lives of those present and to the social and professional communities and organisations in the city of Braga.
