The Federation of Asian Bishops Conferences, in the First Plenary Assembly (1974) wrote this:

"Asia is young. And so the Church in Asia must be young. The apostle in Asia must speak the language, and think the thoughts, and feel in his heart the emotions of those who are under seventee. He must be patient when they are impulsive, and understanding when they are unreasonable. Above all, he must appreciate their real contributions: freshness of outlook, vitality, creativity, courage, compassion, integrity, generosity, the open heart, their willingness to learn."
