3.4 Workshop:

Mission & Justice – from Ad Gentes to Evangelii Gaudium

Presenter: Ms Sandie Cornish, Province Director of Mission, Sisters of the Sacred Heart

This workshop will offer a brief overview of the development of Catholic teaching on the place of social justice in the mission of the Church. Particular attention will be paid to theological foundations in Ad Gentes, the dimensions of evangelisation in Evangelii Nuntiandi and the call to joyful witness in Evangelii Gaudium.

Together we will identify opportunities for integrating this understanding of mission and justice in the life of faith communities and of Catholic organisations. Collaborating in small groups, we will generate tools for sharing the Catholic tradition’s vision for mission in different contexts. BYO imagination and your favourite tech gadgets.
