Bangladesh, The Weekly Love Letter

Описание: Bangladesh: The Weekly Love Letter – 27' 42''

“When you love someone you write to that person. A boy writes to his girl, or a girl writes to her boy because he or she loves the person. That is why they tell the personal stories to him or her. Pratibeshi is the love letter of the Church to the people.” Rt. Rev. Gervas Rozario, Bishop of Rajshahi, Bangladesh

Bangladesh is the world's eighth most populous land and third largest Muslim-majority country. Christians make up less than one percent of the population. Despite their minority status, for the past 75 years the small Catholic community has influenced the nation through its weekly magazine, Pratibeshi. In Bangla Pratibeshi means ‘one who is living next door’ and the publication is one of the oldest weekly magazines in Bangladesh. Started by the American missionaries it began publishing in 1941 as a parish bulletin with the aim to disseminate information to those Catholics living far from the parish. Today the weekly magazine is national and gives a special space for Catholics – mostly tribals – a chance to grow and be aware of their rights in Bangladesh.
