The III International Congress "Faith, Art and Myth" will soon be held in Buenos Aires, honoring three great Christian authors: J.R.R. Tolkien, C.S. Lewis, and G.K. Chesterton.
This event is organized by the Argentine Association Faith, Art and Myth in collaboration with the digital project Sr. Bombadil. It aims to provide a space for reflection on the work of these significant authors. The congress will take place over three days, from July 19 to 21, and will offer the possibility of in-person or online participation.
The organizers anticipate more than 300 in-person attendees and 200 online, which would surpass previous editions. The goal is to create a "formative refuge" centered on these Christian writers, whose works remain relevant. Tolkien, Lewis, and Chesterton are considered by the organizers to be "beacons of hope and truth in a world searching for meaning." The congress will highlight the exceptional trajectories of these three authors.
