Welcome to the official website of the office of the CBCP-BEC Committee.
This is still under construction. When fully developed this website will provide updates on BECs from all over the country. It will contain resources (e.g. training manuals, modules, powerpoint presentations, video-documentaries, podcasts, etc.) that can be downloaded. Articles and reflections on BECs will be posted. Documentations/ proceedings of BEC assemblies will be made available. There will be an internet forum where discussions on BEC concerns and issues will be encouraged. The website will also contain various case studies and success stories about BECs. Basic data and information about the BECs/BEC programs in each diocese/parish will be posted. It will also contain the directory of diocesan BEC directors/coordinators and promoters.
You can help in developing this website by sending updates and news about your BECs, sharing your reflections and articles and participating in the forum.
