1 The Kingdom of God and The New Evangelization Effingham and Fetcham Advent 2018
2 Outline of these Sessions 1. What is the New Evangelization? What is NEW about the New Evangelization? 2. What is the Kingdom of God? How does it relate to Jesus, the Church and us? 3. What are the key issues for preaching the Kingdom of God today? Can we find a new apologetic?
3 The time is fulfilled and the Kingdom of God is at hand. Repent and believe the Good News.
4 What is the New Evangelization? Focus: places with Christian roots but which have lost a sense of the faith Duty of every believer Requires our own personal conversion
5 The Kingdom of God is All about the King Jesus Danger of reducing to merely secular values Old Testament Initially God alone is King of Israel Then: Saul David Solomon division & conquest Then: Messianic hope New Testament Jesus reveals the kingdom in Himself Jesus as Messiah / King Gentle approach to win people s minds and hearts
6 Key Issues for Us Today 1. Journey of Conversion 2. New Apologetics 3. Structures and Programmes 4. Approach to Evangelization 5. Preparing Ourselves
7 1. The Journey of Conversion Uninterested outsider Interested outsider Thinking about things Wanting to engage positively Beginning to want to commit Making a commitment The life of belonging The life of mission / service Discovering & discerning personal vocation Living personal vocation
8 Ministry to People on the Journey Pre-evangelization Welcome Info on Catholicism Basic Apologetics answering common objections Evangelization Proclaiming the kerygma = core message Catechesis Deeper apologetics justifying Christian belief RCIA Mystagogia
9 Ministry to People on the Journey Ongoing perfective catechesis Intellectual Spiritual Human Mission Mission / Vocation
10 Areas of Conversion Intellectual knowledge Moral behaviour Religious spiritual and devotional life Personal / Affective personal relationship with God
11 2. New Apologetics People want to be challenged with truth rather than subjectivism even if they react negatively! Must respond to modern science presumption that science has disproved religion or, at least, a convenient excuse our response must be confident and informed refute biblical literalism the Galileo affair Catholics happily accept the Big Bang and evolution
12 Cosmological Argument Everything in the universe needs explaining that s the whole point of the laws of science The universe itself needs explaining it obeys the laws of science too the Big Bang is a scientific theory What made the Big Bang happen?
13 Design Argument Life needs explaining that s the point of the theory of evolution The basic laws of nature are fine-tuned for life Anthropic Principle What explains the fine-tuning? The multiverse doesn t help It s really only a bigger universe
14 Argument for the Human Soul Meaning of life more than biology Free will not determinism (we are all robots) not randomness not reducible to the laws of physics Consciousness interior life
15 3. Structures and Programmes Something between Nothing and Mass Last Supper at the very end of Jesus ministry Only for His closest followers Dismissal of catechumens after homily All you who are catechumens, depart. Catechumens, depart. All the catechumens depart. Let no one of the catechumens remain. Liturgy of St John Chrysostom
16 Structures and Programmes Alpha Divine Renovation Word on Fire CaFE (Catholic Faith Exploration) Etc. Liturgy Keeping churches open Electronic and printed resources
17 4. Approach to Evangelization Gentle like Christ our King Welcome Befriending inviting accompanying Personal witness Being vulnerable Don t need to know all the answers Win an argument, lose a soul
18 5. Preparing Ourselves Need for personal conversion at all levels in all areas Prayer Pairs you re not alone Do not be afraid Expect failure!
19 Where can we get inner strength? Prayer Fasting Almsgiving Eucharist Frequent Confession One another Christ our King Expect Success too!
20 Questions for Discussion What struck you this evening? what did you agree / disagree with? what made you feel motivated / excited? did anything make you feel anxious / inadequate? What might Jesus be saying to us? or to you personally (maybe keep this private)? What are the key issues for us in E&F? What are the key opportunities for us in E&F?
21 Lord, the Word who is Life, May all the people of our diocese grow in openness to the power of the Holy Spirit, so that through a growth in understanding and courage, and truly open to your call, we may bear powerful witness to all around us, for you are Lord for ever and ever. Amen.
