PUT OUT INTO THE DEEP FOR A CATCH
"Let us go forward in hope!
A new millenium is opening before the
Church like a vast ocean upon which we
are obliged to venture." NMI
#58
Evangelization 2000 offers the Church a service
of Prayer, Proclamation, and Formation in response
to the Holy Father's ongoing call for a New Evangelization
as we journey on into the Third Millenium.
"'No one who puts his hand to the plough and
looks back is fit for the kingdom of God'(Lk 9:62).
In the cause of the Kingdom we have no time for looking
back, even less for settling into laziness. Too much
is awaiting us, and for this reason we must set about
drawing up an effective postJubilee pastoral plan"
NMI #15

3 THINGS EVERY CHRISTIAN SH0ULD KNOW
|
|
1
Every person on earth has a
right to hear the Good News
of Jesus Christ.
Evangelization 2000 respects
this right and strives to offer
its service.
|
 |
2
Everyone deserves the freedom
to accept or reject
the Good News.
Evangelization 2000 appreciates
this freedom and inculcates
a spirit of dialogue and respect.
|
 |
3
Every Christian has a duty to
proclaim one's faith by life/
witness, by word, by action.
Evangelization 2000 makes
persons aware of this duty
and trains them.
