November 2013 will mark the TENTH ANNIVERSARY of the very first meeting of Catholic Theological Ethics in the World Church.

From November 6-9, 2003, Paul Schotsmans hosted us at Holy Ghost College, Leuven. The Conference PlanningGroup was the late Soosai Arokiasamy (India), Benezet Bujo (Congo, Switzerland), Margaret Farley (US), Linda Hogan (Ireland), Rogue Junges (Brazil), Jose Rojas (Philippines), Paul Schotsmans (Belgium), Toni Ross (Administrator), and James Keenan (US), Chair. We came up with our name CTEWC, developed our Mission Statement, and Planned to meet in PADUA in 2006.
Read the minutes from that first meeting. Today we are 1000 moralists getting this newsletter in over eighty countries. We have come a long way… and we have a long way to go.
