St-Paul au cœur du Vietnam

Un voyage autrement!

Du 10 au 26 février 2017

ITINERAIRE PREVU

Le voyage se déroulera du nord au sud du Vietnam, à la découverte de paysages magnifiques d’une

grande diversité. Voici quelques coups de cœur

parmi beaucoup d’autres qui resteront inou-

bliables :

le centre historique et très bien conservé de

la capitale, Hanoï

l’ambiance mystérieuse et sereine de la baie

de Ha Long à bord d ’une jonque- hôtel,

« 8ème merveille » du monde

« On croit qu’on va faire un voyage, mais bientôt c’est le voyage qui vous fait,

ou vous défait ». Nicolas Bouvier, L’usage du monde

Depuis plus de 30 ans, la communauté paroissiale de St- Paul chemine avec l’Eglise évangélique viet-

namienne, des frères et sœurs contraints de fuir le régime communiste à l’époque des Boat People pour

chercher ailleurs une liberté de foi et d’expression…

Ensemble, nous avons commémoré les 100 ans de St- Paul en 2010 célébrant la fidélité de Dieu dans

les temps d’épreuve et dans les moments de paix.

De nos échanges est né le rêve d’un voyage autrement, qui nous permettrait de découvrir ce pays en

suivant «quelques-unes des traces» de la famille du pasteur Nguyen qui a exercé son ministère en plu-

sieurs lieux du Vietnam durant 15 ans.

Ce voyage sur mesure s’adresse donc aux membres des 2 communautés qui ont partagé un bout de

route et se sentent reliés par différentes aspirations. Il est envisagé comme un espace de rencontres et

de découvertes qui nous enrichisse et favorise le contact avec le Vietnam d’aujourd’hui.
