Stewarding Community with Parishioners
Earlier this week, I listened to a Paulist Evangelization Ministries webinar on Families, Evangelization, and the New Catechesis. Aside from the important topic of evangelization, which is so crucial to spreading the message of stewardship, it made some good points about how we steward community with our parishioners.
- A Faith Forming System should take into account that to a great extent there is Church Life and there is Daily Life that our parishioners experience.
- We are dealing with parishioners - and people who reside in our parish - that are greatly diverse in how they experience religion, from Vibrant Faith and Active Engagement to Not Affiliated.
- Parishes have the challenge of connecting Church Life and Daily Life. (And our culture makes it much more important that we make those connections.)
The good news is that Online/Electronic Communications can make that much easier than in the past. A lot of good and practical ideas were shared. To listen to this webinar go to:
