We wish to transmit here what the Congress organizers said after the event: “THANK YOU! Thanks to all of you who have made the Conference possible: staff, speakers, sponsors, collaborators, press, attendees… Thanks to the 400 attendees who came from 15 different countries Thanks to the 330 media people who followed the proceedings online…”

As we await the text and videos of the proceedings, we wish to share here a few snippets of the Conference. In particular, we share here the tweets by and about  Jack Valero, Coordinator for Catholic Voices in the U.K. [As hundreds of attendees and online followers of the Congress were tweeting the congress proceedings, Jack Valero was trending in Twitter in Madrid and, afterward, in Spain! ]

• “Light, not heat. Witnessing, not winning.” “Clarify, don’t fight.” “Listen to the 10 (opposed to your ideas); but speak to the 80 (who agree).”
• “We ought always to seek the meeting point; those things we agree upon.”
• “To move others you need to be doing what you are very enthusiastic about.”
• “Each controversy is a perfect opportunity to deliver your message.”
• “You have to speak with the public, never get angry just because you’ve lost the game.”
• “It’s not about surviving the storm, but about how to dance in the water.”
