Summary:In the Americas peoples are resisting and producing alternatives that may seem small, as in the case of indigenous communities.

They are forms of knowledge that pick up key strands of the Gospel and the Church's journey, that include challenges for urban and inter-cultural environments and prompt thinking among young people.
