Présence
Monthly Culture and News Magazine of the Catholic Church in Turkey
"Présence" magazine is the official organ of the Turkish Catholic Council of Clergy. Its main language is French, but you can also read articles in Italian and Turkish. It therefore contains announcements, opinions and reflections from members of the Turkish Catholic Spiritual Council. The editorial is provided by Mgr Mgr Martin Kmetec, currently Bishop of Izmir.
Monthly official texts from the Vatican, or commentaries on these texts, on the theme chosen by the editorial board, are presented, opening to the Universal Church and related to the education of Christian Catholics in Turkey. This double-page space is reserved for testimony on the theme. It is intended above all to reflect the life of the Catholic Church in Turkey and includes the relationship between the main events and emphases of the different Episcopates. Ecumenical and interreligious relations are also important, which privileges relations with the Eastern Churches and Islam. Finally, it wishes to show its readers the richness of the Christian past of this country and to engage them in the memories of the events and people who have shaped the history of these places.
