The Ecclesial Conference of the Amazon (CEAMA) invites communicators, journalists, media outlets, and digital platforms to apply for accreditation to cover the Meeting of Bishops of the Amazon, which will take place from August 17 to 20, 2025, at the CELAM headquarters in Bogotá, Colombia.
This meeting will bring together nearly 100 bishops from the Amazonian ecclesiastical jurisdictions, from the nine countries that make up the biome (Colombia, Bolivia, Brazil, Ecuador, Guyana, French Guiana, Peru, Suriname, Venezuela), as well as representatives of the founding organizations of CEAMA such as REPAM, CLAR, Caritas Latin America and the Caribbean, CELAM, the Dicastery for Integral Human Development, among other ecclesial and territorial actors.
Six years after the Synod for the Amazon (2019) and five years after the apostolic exhortation Beloved Amazon, this Meeting will be a privileged space to listen to the Amazonian bishops, welcome their reflections, and discern together the challenges and hopes of the Church’s synodal process in the Amazon. Through this shared journey, we seek to continue contributing “new paths for the Church and for Integral Ecology.”
As Cardinal Cláudio Hummes rightly recalled:“The Church in the Amazon cannot walk without the bishops.”
CEAMA, a direct fruit of the Amazon Synod, is an intrinsically synodal body, whose purposes—according to the Final Document of the Synod, adopted by Pope Francis as pontifical teaching—are:
- Promote synodality among the Churches of the Amazon region, based on the proposals of the Synod.
- Help define the Amazonian face of the Church.
- Continue the task of finding new paths for the evangelizing mission, especially incorporating the proposal of integral ecology.
