Hay que seguir andando.” These words filled a high school auditorium in March 2020 in Guayaquil, Ecuador, where Christians from Central and South America and the Caribbean gathered for the 11th Continental Meeting of ecclesial base communities (CEBs), also known as Christian base communities in English. The refrain comes from a contemporary hymn penned by an Argentine composer and ratified by Latin American CEBs. “We just have to keep going, that’s all,” the lyrics prod. “We just have to keep going.” At the gathering, seminars and working-group sessions complemented worship, singing, and reunions among friends in an effort to fulfill the meeting’s general goal: “To echo the cries of the poor and of the earth in order to recreate challenging ministries for the care, protection, and defense of a dignified life and our Common Home.” The coronavirus pandemic abruptly interrupted the meeting, but the words of the hymn took on greater significance as participants headed back to their home countries.
