BEC Basic Ecclesial Communities

The building of BECs Basic Ecclesial Communities has become a priority in many dioceses and parishes all over the country. This is part of the continuing renewal in the church that began after Vatican II and given new impetus by the Second Plenary Council of the Philippines (PCPII).
There are frequently asked questions like; What are BECs? How do we form BECs? In order to fully understand what BECs are, we need to look at them from an ecclesiological perspective. This is necessary since it is often asserted that BECs are a way of being Church. The question about how to form BECs requires a strategic framework. Without this framework, the building up of BECs will be in vain. Thus, a clear ecclesiological vision and a coherent strategic framework are necessary for forming BECs.
