VATICAN CITY, MAR 25, 2004 (VIS) - The eighth meeting of the Post-Synodal Council of the Special Assembly for Lebanon was held March 16 and 17 in the secretariat of the Synod of Bishops under the presidency of Secretary General, Cardinal Jan P. Schotte, C.I.C.M. The Synod for Lebanon was held from November 26 to December 14, 1995.

  Three cardinals, 4 archbishops, 4 bishops and 4 staff members of the Synod of Bishops were present. They discussed the work done by the secretariat since their last meeting, and presented individual reports on the ecclesial, religious, civil and political situation in Lebanon. They also dedicated attention to the methods of promoting and implementing the post-synodal apostolic exhortation and discussed initiatives to making it better known. They also referred to the "Balance," a document on the results of the initiatives promoted thus far, and suggested that this document, up to now reserved to the bishops, be widely published.
