Javier Huerta and Marta del Sol launch Encuentros Siloé

Javier Huerta and Marta del Sol have established Encuentros Siloé, a new civil association in Spain designed to share the Christian faith with atheists and agnostics. The group uses a method of meetings held in family homes that combine music, videos, personal testimonies, and dialogue to discuss God in a human and approachable setting.

The project grew from the personal conversion experiences of Huerta and del Sol three years ago. Since then, they have hosted 26 meetings in their home for more than 1,000 participants, including friends, family, and non-believers. The new association intends to provide the materials and methodology necessary for other families or parishes to replicate these gatherings.

Encuentros Siloé is an independent initiative led by laypeople and does not belong to a specific Church movement. While it does not yet have official Church endorsement, several priests are providing spiritual advice, and the group plans to present the association to the Archdiocese of Madrid soon.
