Renewal and Reform for a
More Effective Evangelization Foundations of the New Evangelizationwere laid down
in theApostolic Exhortation Evangelii Nuntiandi(Evangelization in the Modern World) of Pope Paul VI
New Evangelization was Pope Paul VIs response to thenew challenges that the contemporary world creates forthe mission of the Church (according to JPII)
The Church is an evangelizer, but she begins by being
evangelized herself she has a constant need of beingevangelized, if she wishes to retain freshness, vigor, andstrength in order to proclaim the Gospel (EN,15).
The Church is both the object and subject of
evangelization

The New Evangelization a technical term used by John Paul II
in his encyclical Redemptororis Missio, 1992
needed in our day in order to revitalize the faith, give anew dynamism to the building up of the Church, to
draw people to unity does not mean a new message; there is always the basic
Christian message: salvation through Jesus Christ
Evangelization can be new in its ardor, methods andexpression (John Paul II)
The new evangelization is not a matter of merelypassing on doctrine but ratherof a personal and
profound meeting with the Savior(John Paul II).

The Three Stages/Phases of Evangelization
John Paul II in his encyclical on evangelization,Redemptoris Missio, stresses the continuing process aboutevangelization with 3 stages or phases
1st Phase: Missio Ad Gentes The missionary activity of the
Church in relation to those who have not heard of Christ;directed to the non-Christians who do not yet believe inChrist
2nd Phase: Pastoral Care of Young Christian Communitythe communities who have received the proclamation of theGood News
3rd Phase: New Evangelization/Re-evangelizationaddressed to non-practicing Christians and to entirecultures; specifically directed to establish Churches whose
practices of faith have veered away from the Gospel

PJPIIs urgent call to a new evangelization is imperative.
The moment has come to commit all of the Churchsenergies to a new evangelization and the mission ad
gentes. No believer in Christ, no institution of theChurch can avoid this supreme duty: to proclaim Christto all peoples (RM,3).
Missionary activity/evangelization is for all
Missionary activity renews the Church, revitalizes faithand Christian identity. Faith is strengthened when itis given to others.

PJPII states that missionary evangelization is the
responsibility and calling of all Christians. I spoke explicitly of the Churchs permanent mission of
bringing the gospel to the multitudes who as yet do notknow Christ and the responsibility of the lay faithful in
this regard. The mission ad gentes is incumbent upon theentire People of God missionary activity which is carriedout in a wide variety of ways, is the task of all the Christianfaithful.
The sphere in which lay people are present and active asmissionaries is very extensive. Their own field is the vastand complilcatedword of politics, society and economics
on the local, national and international levels
PJPII explains the significant role of the laity

Our vision of the Church as communion, participation andmission, about the Church as priestly, prophetic and kingly people,
and a Church of the poor, that is a renewed Church, is today findingexpression in one ecclesial movement, that is the movement to fosterBasic Ecclesial Communities (PCP II 137).
They are small communities of Christians, usually of families, whogather around the Word of God and the Eucharist. These communitiesare united to their pastors but are ministered to regularly by layleaders. The members know each other by name and share not only the
Word of God and the Eucharist but also their concerns both materialand spiritual. They have a strong sense of belongingness and ofresponsibility for one another. (PCP II 138)
Usually emerging at the grassroots among poor farmers and workers,Basic Ecclesial Communities consciously strive to integrate their faithand their daily life. They are guided and encouraged by regularcatechesis. Poverty and their faith urge their members towardssolidarity with one another, action for justice, and towards a vibrantcelebration of life in the liturgy. (PCP II 139).
Basic Ecclesial Communities under various names and forms BCCs,small Christian communities, covenant communities must bevigorously promoted for the full living of the Christian vocation in bothurban and rural areas. (PCP II decrees, article 109)
