Communication Needs Assessment

This study explores the seismic shifts in religious adherence in Latin America and the Caribbean over the past 40 years, highlighting the transition from a predominately Catholic region to a diverse religious landscape. It emphasizes the limited use of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) among Orthodox Christian communities experiencing significant growth. The assessment includes data collection methods, a country comparison chart, and surveys aimed at understanding the communication needs of priests and parishes. Additional resources, such as videos and photography collections, are provided to illustrate the findings.
