Tilling the soil: Pre-evangelization and Conversion
Sat 1 Feb 2020 11:00 am - 4:00 pm
Centre for Catholic Formation, SW17 8BS
Description
Common experience among catechists today is that youngsters come forward for sacramental preparation, often from non-practicing homes, without having been evangelised. Evangelists are familiar with the benefit of establishing trust in order to announce the gospel. As evangelists and catechists, we need to consider how we ‘prepare the soil’ to receive the Seed of the Word so that it can flourish. This day will explore 'pre-evangelization', the cause of faith in the soul and how this relates to the craft of catechesis and the ministry of evangelization. Participants will also examine the place of Truth, Goodness and Beauty in evangelising both the lapsed and the unconverted. Any catechists, evangelists or Catholics simply looking to evangelise family and friends, will benefit from attending this day.
This Evangelization Gathering will take place here at the Centre for Catholic Formation, Tooting Bec, London SW17 8BS
