Abstract

An interdisciplinary scientific committee was formed to set the cornerstones of a new living community in Drávapiski, Hungarian popular daily newspaper Magyar Nemzet (May 6, 2013, 4) reports. According to long term plans, a new place for Christian worship along with a monastic settlement will help local people open a new chapter of both religious life and agriculture. Members of the committee believe that this kind of complex evangelisation is the only and last chance of this region to regenerate. The design process has started, and is ready to yet invite any participants to contribute to the mission.
