Living as Missionary Disciples : A Resource for Evangelization – Living as Missionary Disciples provides dioceses and parishes and other church ministries with a road map to “new paths for the Church’s journey” of evangelization. It is not intended to provide a ready-made program for a parish to follow or a detailed strategic plan to implement. Rather, it offers principles that dioceses and parishes can apply to their efforts in evangelization and missionary discipleship.
USCCB Leadership Institute Track III – New Evangelization – A series of webinars from the United States Catholic Conference of Bishops focused on “The New Evangelization”.
Overview of the Theological Foundations of the New Evangelization 2012 (Pre recorded) – The concept “evangelization” is as ancient as the Church herself. However it is a concept not familiar to many Catholics, or it is associated with Protestant denominations. Considering the pluralistic challenges to theology and the syncretistic attitude that may be present even among those involved in ministry, evangelization is often reduced to a social call to action or a weakened pastoral activity seen as one among many. Father Wehner’s presentation will identify the theological foundations of evangelization that provide the basis for Pope John Paul II’s and Pope Benedict XVI’s apostolic mandate — the Church is called to embrace the “new evangelization” as the mission of the Church.
