FABC picks logo for the 2025 Asian Mission Congress in Penang
The Central Committee of the Federation of Asian Bishops' Conferences met in Bangkok to prepare the event scheduled next November in Malaysia. The symbolic image is the result of a competition in which 54 artists from all over Asia took part.
Bangkok (AsiaNews/Agencies) – The Central Committee of the Federation of Asian Bishops’ Conferences (FABC) is currently meeting in Bangkok. During one session, the bishops picked the official logo of the Asian Mission Congress 2025 (AMC 2025), scheduled in Penang, Malaysia, from 27 to 30 November centred on the theme “The Great Pilgrimage of hope".
The logo is inspired by the image of a star formed by stylised people holding hands, echoing the biblical verse about the Magi going home “by another way”, which is at core of the Bangkok Document issued after the 2022 Assembly of Asian Churches.
For the logo, the FABC had announced a competition that saw the participation of 54 artists from across Asia, reflecting the spirit of mission and unity of the continent's Catholics.
The second Asian Mission Congress will be held in Penang (Malaysia), almost 20 years after Chang Mai (Thailand) hosted the first edition in October 2006 with the participation of a thousand delegates.
The congress seeks to bring together bishops, priests, religious leaders and lay people from all over the continent to promote in synodal style a shared journey of the Churches as "pilgrims of hope" for Asia.
