My Dear Friends in Christ:

It is a great joy to welcome you to our 1991 RELIGIOUS EDUCATION
CONGRESS! This year's theme, "WATERS OF THE EARTH," is drawn
from reflections on the Book of Genesis 9:8-15. Here we are reminded of
God's promise that "the waters shall never again become a flood to destroy,"
rather, "the bow in the sky shall be a sign of the covenant between God and
the earth."
It is appropriate that as we celebrate the lOOth Anniversary of the first
major Social Encyclical, Rerum Novarum of Pope Leo XIII, in which themes
around "water" and "earth" are highlighted. We are called again and again
to have great reverence for the earth and all its peoples.

As teachers of our Catholic Faith and Tradition we are called to renewal

and transformation in all that we are and all that we do: in our reflection
on the life of Jesus Christ, in our preparations for passing on the Faith, and
in our reaching out to all members of our communities.
As we come together for the 1991 Congress, let us respond to God's call to
be at the service of His Kingdom as we seek to build a world of justice,
peace and love.
Asking the Lord's blessings upon you and all your efforts in catechetical
ministry, I am

Dear Friends
It is with great joy that I and the Staff of the Office of Religious Education welcome you

to Congress 1991. Our annual Congress gives us the wondrous opportunity to gather as
Church, and be strengthened and renewed, as we listen to some of the most respected
leaders in the catechetical field.
Our theme 'WATERS OF TI-IE EARTil" is particularly appropriate in a year when we also
celebrate the lOOth Anniversary of the first social encyclical, Rerum Novarum. The earth
and all its people deserve our care, attention, love, justice and peace. As religious
educators, we give witness that it is possible to open our hearts to the transfonning power
of God, and in turn, help transform the earth and make it new. This is our challenge and
responsibility.
So, it is with gratitude that I welcome all of you to these graced days. I hope that the
many workshop opportunities, Liturgical celebrations, music and times for renewing
friendships will be sources of energy and renewal for all of you.

Sincerely,

Sr. Edith Prendergast, R.S.C.

Dear Friends,

"WATERS OF THE EARTH"

Water is such an important part of
being alive. Each day we drink it and
cleanse ourselves in it.
We are
nourished not only by the water we
consume, but also by the water that
surrounds us at the beach, river,
stream, lake, or pool. As essential as
water is, it can go unnoticed and unappreciated until it is
scarce or gone. YOUTH DAY '91 will be an outstanding
celebration of the energy and enthusiasm of youth! This
day we will focus on God's loving promise to us and our
response. Uke the living water God gives to us, God's love
can go unnoticed, but if we drink of this love, our lives
cannot go unchanged. Within this celebration of Youth
Day we will take the time to allow ourselves to be
challenged: If we are connected by the waters of the
earth, how am I responsible for the lives of my brothers and
sisters? How am I taking care of the earth that God has
entrusted to all of us? How do I allow the living water of
God's love to cleanse me and sustain me that I may
become all that God has planned?
It is in this spirit of wonder and challenge that I invite you
to join us for YOUTH DAY '91. It is your participation that
brings this day alive!

Tom East
Director of Youth Ministry

WEARING THE MASK (6A)

Youth and young adults show us who they
are behind the masks that they wear. catechetical ministers need

ANGER AND FORGIVENESS (IA)

Anger, even hate, can easily coexist with
love. Often we have been hurt over a long
period of time by someone we love, even though the pains may
have been unintentional. We may love our husband's big heart,
but hate his put downs. This dynami~ occurs in many of ~>Ur
significant relationships: Parents & Children, Husband & Wife,
Brother & Sister. This session presents a concrete program for
spiritually healing our angers.
LETTING GOD TURN OUR WEAKNESSES INTO
STRENGTHS (68)
We often find ourselves with habit systems that cause grief. We
want to change, but we don't know how. The conditioning that
created these habit systems is deeply Ingrained within u~. Th~re
are moments in our lives when we are overwhelmed with pain;
during these moments, with God's help, we can create new habits.

encounter Jesus in the Gospel of John: the Samaritan Woman
(chap. 4); the Man Born Blind (chap. 9); Martha and Mary and the
Raising of Lazarus (chap. 11). These are meant as parabolic
examples of coming to faith and being baptized, and living out that
faith amidst adversity. Suggestions for using these in Lent today.

and individual response to the needs of others. This response
cannot merely be on the level of personal involvement but must
also relate to social and communal responsibilities. Examples of

HEY CATECHIST! EVERYONE'S

DIFFERENT (2H)

ways youth and adults learn and practical ways these learning
styles can be supported in our catechetical sessions.

GOD AND THE MYSTERY OF SUFFERING (4N)

Classical theology argued that God permitted suffering, for various
reasons. The experience of the holocaust and other massive

sufferings of this century have made that

idea highly questionable. Theology today
proposes that God participates in the
suffering of beloved creation. Does God
suffer? and even if so, does this help?
What does the cross have to contribute to
this search for a meaningful God? This
session will explore our idea of God in the
face of the mystery of suffering.
WOMEN AND THE IMAGE OF GOD (SK)
Until recently the theological tradition denied
that women were fully in the image of God
in their own right, but only when seen as men's helpmates.
Affirming women as fully and equally images of God has farreaching consequences for the identity of women, the shape of
human community, and the idea of God who may now be thought
in the image of women. This session will explore our idea of God
in the light of women's dignity as images of God.

previous baptism and their present place on the faith journey.

RECONCILIATION: WITH WHOM? FOR WHAT? (SS)

The new Rite of Reconciliation has found only modest acceptance.
What is wrong and what can be done? The forming of conscience
is key, but so too is an understanding of forgiveness.

Rev. Timothy O'Connell

An internationally known moral theologian,
Fr. O'Connell is Associate Professor at
Loyola University in Chicago, IL, where he
is also Director of the Institute of Pastoral
Studies. He is the author of six books,
most recently his "Principles for a Catholic
Morality", in a revised edition. Today's
presentation marks O'Connell's third return
to the LA. Religious Education Congress.

SIN AND RECONCILIATION (7Q)

"Catholics have lost their sense of sin. So
they say! Actually, the catholic tradition offers a theology of sin
that is biblical, perennial, and deeply connected to the experience
of people today. This understanding will be retrieved. And its
implications for a liturgical theology of reconciliation will be noted.
This session should provide useful guidelines for religious educators
Involved in preparation for the Sacrament of Reconciliation as well
as for catholics seeking to develop their own faith.

THE WAYS OF MORAL INSIGHT (9N)

How do we come to understand what Is right and what is wrong?
What is the source for our moral insights? And how can we more
effectively share them with others? The .session will show how
moral knowledge is both objective and deeply personal, how It Is
rooted In the experience of the Individual and the community, and
how It can be shaped and enriched as time goes on. An overall
strategy for religious education In morality will result.

Rev. Roe O'Connor

Fr. O'Connor is presently teaching Scripture to the Jesuit novices
and novices of an intercommunity program. He began writing
music in 1974 with members of St. Louis Jesuits, and since, has

AFRICAN-AMERICAN SPIRITUALITY (4T)

The waters of Atlantic Ocean and the Mississippi have been
blessed by the blood of our African and African-American
Ancestors. African-American Spirituality was born in the suffering
passage of Africans from their Spirit centered universe to their
Biblical centered Christianity. This workshop will discuss the
context and characteristics of Afrtcan-American Spirituality today.
What lmaies of God and understanding of Christ and Christian
living have emerged among a people who are marginalized and
suffering in an affluent Society.

THE MISSION OF THE CHURCH IN A MULTI-CULTURAL,

MULTI-RACIAL, MULTI-CLASS SOCIETY (6T)
This workshop will focus on the role of the religious educator as a
missionary in a racially, culturally and class diverse Church. We
will discuss the mission of Jesus Christ and the Mission of the
Church as continuing that mission. What are bishops, scripture
scholars and theologlans saying about the mission of the Church
In the 21st century.

NEW MUSIC FOR GRADE SCHOOL CHILDREN (2Q)
Fr. O'Connor will present music written for 1) thr ,different levels
of children (K-3, 4-6, 7 & higher) and with desire to integrate adult
singers; and 2) show how the music works with these groups.

iNTEGRATJNG CHILDREN AND ADULTS IN SONG (8Q)

Fr. O'Connor will present music for an a plan for integrating adult
and chlldren's choirs. Children's choirs often make cameo
appearances at liturgy - here's a way to make the two kinds of
choir more integral to the celebration.

This session will focus on two major areas:

1) The basic characteristics and needs of young children which
reflect their openness to religious education; and, 2) Effective
teacher qualities and strategies which help facilitate the learning
process for young children.

PRAYER CELEBRATIONS WITH YOUNG CHILDREN (SU)

THE CHURCH: SACRAMENT OF UNITY
(6S)

The church was called a "Sacrament of

Unity" first by St. Cyprian, and in our day by
Vatican II. What does this mean? How is
it Incorporated into Baptism - Eucharist Reconciliation - Ministry?

Prayer celebrations are special occasions for young children to

celebrate God's goodness in prayer and song at their level of
understanding and participation. The preparation and experience
of prayer celebrations provide opportunities for meaningful
interactions with teachers, peers, and parents. These occasions
help build positive relationships which influence the children's self
esteem and their ability to relate to others.

Dr. Ruth Reese

Dr. Ruth Reese has been a psychotherapist

in private practice for the past 18 years.
She has worked extensively with couples
and families and is currently conducting
research on how people cope with traumatic
experiences.

Parents and Catechists have many questions about how best to

relate to young adolescents. What do Jr. High Youth look for from
parents? How much do adults influence their decisions? How can
we keep communication lines open? This session will examine the
joys and struggles that are working with and being part of families
with young adolescents.

DIVORCE IS NOT THE END OF THE

FAMILY (SW)

ARE WE SINGING THE SAME SONG? (7T)

Over half of today's children will experience

the divorce of their parents and the loss of
living in the family structure of their birth.
For middle class children divorce is often the most traumatic
incident of their childhood, and for poor and disabled children, it
can be one of several major tragedies. In this workshop we will
examine some of the critical challenges of the divorcing process
and how parents and children negotiate these challenges. We will
discuss specific implications for religious educators, such as how
they might respond to children's questions and needs.

MOTHERS AND DAUGHTERS: A UNIQUE RELATIONSHIP (7S)

In this workshop we will explore major developmental tasks that
are negotiated between mother and daughter over the life span.
studies In human .development and family therapy have
demonstrated some ~ey crltlcal tasks that need to take place
between mother and daughter so that both may grow to their
fullest psychological and spiritual potential.

Religious Education, Confirmation, Youth Ministry, Catholic High

Schools, may share in the same mission, yet are often seen as
competing partners. This session will provide an opportunity to
examine and discuss the contributions of each of these ministry
settings. The variety in approaches may lead to creative
opportunities or challenging conflicts. Is collaboration necessary?
beneficial? possible?

loss of a significant relationship through death, divorce or failed
friendship. Because we Invest so much of ourselves in a
relationship, the process of healing is lengthy and difficult. Without
the support of good friends and the reassurance of a place in the
Christian community, a person Is less likely to come to a place of
greater life. We are called to be water bearers for each other.

GROWING STRONG AT BROKEN PLACES:

LIFE'S UNHEALED HURTS (4U)

DEALING WITH

Each of us carries' a personal history that has not been pain-free.

sometimes the untlealed hurts from the past are so significant that
they interfere with our present life ... ln this workshop we will
explore the place of pain in human life. We will reflect on some
of the roadblocks to our healin& as well as some of the stepping
stones. Since we do not heal in isolation, we will look upon ways
that we may be as water bearers to one another.

RESTRUCTURING YOUTH MINISTRY

PROGRAMMING FOR THE 90'S (6W)
What are the practical implications of the ever changing national
and global social-cultural forces which impact ministry with youth

today. What are the practical implications of contemporary

developments in theological thought and ministerial development
for ministry with youth? How will youth ministry respond to this
ever changing agenda? This presentation will develop a new style
of youth ministry programming that responds to the changing scene
of the 90's.
DISCIPLESHIP: A WORTHY ADVENTURE FOR YOUTH (9P)
An important part of youth's dissatisfaction with the church stems
from an absence of a spiritually challenging and world-shaping
vision that meets their hunger for the chance to participate in a
worthy adventure. How do we challenge young people to become
disciples of Jesus Christ? How do we present a world-shaping
vision. This presentation will explore the tasks and approaches for
addressing this challenge.

MOVE FORWARD TOGETHER (5X)
Why are there so many hurdles and obstacles to lay ministry in
today's Church? This presentation will give a very interesting

Processes to help one grow through the changes which are so
much a part of our lives.
ALL OF LIFE IS A HOLY FESTIVAL (9Q)
In a culture that promotes busyness, it is oftentimes difficult to
recognize the God-moments that permeate our day. Mindfulness
and awareness are key to this experience of connecting with God
In our busyness. Joyce Rupp, author of "Fresh Bread", will explore
ways of experiencing God using our five external senses as well as
our Inner senses.

accomplishing this. We will explore what
self-esteem is and how it develops.
ANGER AND CONFLICT: OBSTACLES TO COLLABORATIVE
MINISTRY (9S)
While most people espouse the concept of collaborative ministry,
it is the inability of many ministers to deal with anger and conflict
which interferes with their ability to be collaborative. We will

TRANSFORMING INITIATIVES FOR

JUSTICE AND PEACEMAKING BY THE
PEOPLE (6X), (SW)
Connecting the tradition since Rerum Novarum and the Sermon on
the Mount not as a guilt trip or unreachable high ideals, but
empowerment that delivers us from vicious cycles into participation
in the grace of specific steps of peace and justice.

THE COLLABORATIVE MIND (2W)

Collaboration is collective genius! Collaboration is an act of shared
creation and/or shared discovery! Collaboration works when you
are more interested in what the answer or solution is rather than
doing it alone. This session defines the structure, characteristics
and disciplines required to experience and work constructively the
collaborative model of ministry. It challenges potential and creates
the desire for better ways to work together for a common purpose.
CONFRONT SOLVE RESOLVE (8X)
Problems and conflicts are the cutting edge that distinguishes
between success and failure. Problems and conflict call forth our
courage and our wisdom and give life its meaning. It is only
because of problems and conflict that we grow mentally and
spiritually. It is through the pain of confronting and resolving
problems that we learn. For this reason wise people learn not to
dread but actually welcome problems and conflict and the pain it
involves. This particular seminar is designed to assist people in
recognizing and understanding the difference between
confrontation, problem solving and conflict resolution.

TijROUGH "SPANISH" EYES: A LOOK AT YOUTH MINISTRY

C3ll>
A total parish 9outh ministry is in tune with the life experiencescelebrations, needs, and concerns of youth. Hispanic youth
celebrate a rich life experience rooted in family, faith, tradition and
God. However, are we responding to their very real needs and
concerns? Who are our Hispanic youth? Our challenge is to
journey together sharing our unique human experiences
(celebrations, needs AND concerns) leading us to a sacramental
experience as a Community In Christ.

SEEKING PERSPECTIVE (2X)

By weaving spirituality and psychology
together in the search for clarity, Dr. Wicks

MAKING SCRIPTURE COME ALIVE

AVAILABILITY: THE PROBLEM AND THE GIFT

(9W)

Drawing upon his writings on the integration of psychology and

spirituality, Dr. Wicks demonstrates how today's adults can-and
should-be Involved in the pastoral care of themselves so they can
reach out to others without being pulled down int he process.

(3W)

We can no longer "do" scripture in isolation.

It must be done in the context of the Primal
Christian Experiences. These experiences
are the Primal Cry for More (uncovering the
deepest longings of the human heart), the
Primal Religious Experience (necessary for all other religious
experiences), and the Primal cry for help (to have love encounters
with Christ and others.)

MAKING THE SACRAMENTS COME ALIVE

(4X)

The Sacraments must be approached in the context of the fullness

of the good news of God among us (Christ as Liberator and
Encounter-Causer) and the fullness of the good news of Church
(Church as Easter-Pentecost Process). The sacraments then
become love encounters leading to evangelizatlon and justice.

reasons. How many of them feel the need
to "reconnect with the Church, to see If
there is any room for them. What are the
problems? What are the tensions? What does the Church have
to offer? What do they have to offer the Church? How can we
help long-gone Catholics come home.

(9U)

What does It mean to "work with our own Codependency? Let us

get out of the Jargon, and into the real world and work of living and
loving and working with other women and men who are not
perfect! How are we our own worst enemies? How can we
recognize co-dependent behaviors, and how can we learn to be
Caregivers rather than Caretakers.

OR

Victims' and offenders' needs are often

ignored by our justice system, and this is no
accident. These figures are inherent in the very definitions and
assumptions which govern our way of justice. But our way of
viewing and responding to crime is not the only way. In this
workshop we will examine our retributive" assumptions about
justice and explore "restorative alternatives.

STORYTELLING AS A VEHICLE FOR FAITH SHARING IN EARLY

CHILDHOOD CATECHESIS (2Y)
The essential message of early childhood catechesis must be that
you are intensely loved and cared for by 3 God always and
everywhere present, to whom you belong, who never abandons
you. Stor:es speak in the language of children - the world of
nature and their intense feelings, affirming and clarifying.

BUILDING ON CHILDREN'S TRADITIONAL STORIES TO RELATE

TO OUR CHRISTIAN MESSAGE OF FAITH, HOPE & LOVE (SY)

NCT. It is designed to meet the specific needs of the Church in
the 1990's.

TEACHING CHRISTIAN SEXUALITY DO IT TODAY! (9Y)

Education in Christian sexuality should focus on sexuality as a gift
from God - a gift that is meant to help us experience the goodness
of ourselves, others and all of creation. Am I afraid to teach
Christian sexuality? How should I deal with sexual terminology and
~haviors exhibited by children and adults today?
How do I
answer questions about sex and related issues. This presentation
will help parents and. teachers understand how they can work
together when teaching Christian sexuality.

Dear Catechist,
Just as the parched earth needs water for life, so is our
need as catechists to be refre shed and renewed by life
giving words in a nurturing atmosphere. I hope that this
year's Congress provides that for you.
As you begin to select your workshops, I would like to
remind you that certain sessions are designated for
recertification. This does not necessarily mean it's a better
workshop, only that the content is in accord wit/1 the
requirements for recertification. In choosing your workshops
the criteria for you should be: Which workshop will
contribure to my personal spiritual enrichment and lo the
challenge to grow as a catechist?
May the time you spend at Congress be
a period of growth and fruitfulness as
you continue your ongoing formation.
Sincerely,
Adela Franco
Consultant for Catechist Formation

Mis Queridos Amigos en Cristo:

iEs un gran gozo el darles la bienvenida a nuestro CONGRESO DE
EDUCACION RELIGIOSA 1991! El tema de este afm "Aguas de la tierra"
esta tornado de las reflexiones sobre el libro del Genesis 9:8-15. En el se
nos recuerda la promesa de Dios "nunca mas habra diluvio que destruya la
tierra," sino que, "pongo mi arco en las nubes para que sea una sefial de mi
alianza con toda la tierra."
Es apropiado que al celebrar el centesimo Aniversario de la primera Enciclica
Social, Rerum Novarum del Papa Le61i XIII, se pongan en relieve los temas
alrededor del "agua" y "tierra." Estamos llamados una y otra vez a tener una
gran reverencia por la tierra y todos sus pueblos.
Como maestros de nuestra Fe y Tradici6n Cat61ica estamos llamados a
renovar y transformar todo lo que somos y todo lo que hacemos: en nuestra
reflexi6n sobre la vida de Jesucristo, en nuestras preparaciones para trasmitir
la fe, y en nuestro acercamiento a todos los miembros de nuestras
comunidades.
Al juntarnos para el Congreso de 1991, respondamos a el llamado de Dios al
servicio de Su Reino mientras buscamos edificar un mundo de justicia, paz y
amor.
Pidiendo las bendiciones del Senor para ustedes y para todos sus esfuerzos en
el ministerio catequetico, quedo de ustedes

reunirnos como Iglesia, y ser fortalecidos y renovados, al escuchar a los lideres mas
respetados en la area catequetica.
Nuestro tema "AGUAS DE I.A TIERRA" es particularmente apropriado este aiio, porque
tambien celebramos el centesimo aniversario de la primera IncfcUca Social, Rerum
Novarum. La tierra y toda su gente merece nuestro carifio, atenci6n, amor, y justicia y paz.
Como educadores religiosos, somos testigos de la posibilidad de abrir nuestros corazones
al poder transformador de Dios, y a la vez, ayudar a transformar a] mundo y hacerlo
nuevo. Este es nuestro desafio y responsabiJidad.
Por lo tanto, con gratitud Jes dames la bienvenida a estos dfas de gracia. Espero que los
muchos tall~res, celebraciones liturgicas, musica, y tiempos para renovar amistades sean la

El Fundamentalismo y las actitudes de ciertas sectas evangelicas

EN EL SENO DE MARIA (751)

A partir de la composici6n teol6gica del

evangelista Lucas sobre la anunciaci6n,
enfocaremos en la relaci6n Jesus-Marfa, y
de ambos con la actuaci6n de Dios en la
vida del pueblo ayer y hoy.
i.QUIEN DICEN USTEDES QUE SOY YO? (952)
Esta pregunta central de Jesus a quienes lo segufan, ha sido a

menudo err6neamente comprendida. La interpretaci6n del texto

bfblico (me 8,29) ha dado por supuesto que Jesus se dirige solo
a los discfpulos varones excluyendo a las mujeres que participaban
en su movimiento. Aquf, prestaremos atenci6n a la profesi6n
mesianica de fe y a la respuesta que formulan las mujeres en los
evangelios.

salmos a tus alumnos.
Durante este taller se
dara a conocer
diferentes metodos

salmos, tales como,
cantados, semi-entonados y en combinaciones de canto y
recitaci6n. Se presentaran materiales apropiados para esto.
LAS PARTES QUE SE DEBEN CANTAR EN UNA MISA C6Sl)
Desde temprana edad, ninos y j6venes asimilaran los principios
musicales y liturgicos. Todo catequlsta, maestro de primaria, y
coordinadores de grupos juveniles deben saber que partes de la
misa se deben cantar y que partes nose deben de cantar. Este
taller se presentara de acuerdo a las directrices y gufas de los
documentos de liturgia del II Vaticano y de la carta pastoral de los
obispos de EEUU, La Musica en el Culto cat61ico.

actividades liturglcas donde la ninez y la juventud participe

LAS ETAPAS DE LA VIDA FAMILIAR (lSl)

Estudios en la familia identifican periodos
muy definidos de ajustes fuertes en la vida
familiar. Una familia pudo haber vivido positivamente algunas
etapas pero en otras se sienten impotente sin saber para donde Ir
ya sea como persona individual, esposos, padres o hijos. A todos
como conjunto les afectan estas etapas. En esta charla vamos a
mirar como podemos responder a estos cambios y trabajarlos
positivamente.
COMO DEJAR ATRAS UN "PASADO" (4Sl)
A traves de la vida del ser humano vamos vlviendo experiencias
que nos generan una serie de sentimientos muy fuertes de digerir
o aceptar: ira, tristeza, desilusl6n, rechazo, soledad, etc. Y todo
esto nos afecta, consciente o inconsclentemente, todos los niveles
de nuestra comunicacl6n y torma de comportamiento. En todo ser
humano el perd6n y la sanacl6n son elernentos necesarios para
poder digerir-aceptar y dejar atras este "pasado".

SACERDOCIO DE JESUS Y MORAL CRISTIANA (3$2)

Se trats de exponer lo fundamental del serviclo sacerdotal que
debera estar presente en cualquier forma de su ejercicio en la
Iglesia. Se trata por tanto de descubrir lo fundamental del
sacerdocio ministerial y del sacerdocio comun o sacerdoclo de los
fieles. A partlr de la problematica del sacerdocio ministerial y
comun despues del Vaticano II, se pretende comprender el
sacerdocio no S6fo desde la Iglesia sino desde la realidad de Dios
y de Cristo.
PRAXIS CRISTIANA Y MODELOS DE IGLESIA (4S2)
Se trata de exponer c6mo la Iglesia no puede entenderse en sr y
por sr misma, porque esta al servicio de unas realidades que van
mas alla de ella rnisma: el Reino y el mundo. En base a esta
afirmaci6n fundamental, se constatan dlversas maneras como la
Iglesia puede relaclonarse con el Reino y con el mundo para
discernir cual de ellas responde mas fielmente al designio del Dios
de Jesucristo. Cuando la Iglesia se identifica con el Reino, surje
una Imagen eclesial espirltualizante e insensible a la historia.
LOS CRISTIANO$ Y LA "NUEVA EVANGELIZACION" (753)
Se trata de aclarar que se entiende por nueva evangelizaci6n" y
que exigenclas plantea a los cristianos hoy. La identidad de la
Iglesia consiste en la misi6n de evangelizar, de anunclar y hacer
presente el Reino de Dios. Por eso la Iglesia debe realizar una
evangelizaci6n integral mediante el anuncio y la denuncia, el
testimonio, la transformacl6n de la historia y la celebracl6Jl
sacramental de la praxis cristlana. A la vez la Iglesia debe estar
consciente de que el contenido de la evangelizaci6n, el Reino de
Oios, es una realidad futura que debe irse haciendo presente en
la historia. Por otra parte la evangelizacl6n debe uniflcar tanto la
misma accl6n de evangelizar y la persona del evangelizador, como
la acci6n de evangelizar y el destinatario de la evangelizaci6n.
