Reflection on Prædicate Evangelium - Msgr Joseph Sayer & Oswald Cardinal Gracias
Professor Doctor Josef Sayer, Director of Misereor from 1997 to 2012 and member of the FABC 50 Organising Committee, reflecting on Prædicate Evangelium and the opportunities for new forms of leadership and governance for the Church in Asia, provided a comprehensive explanation of the Prædicate Evangelium, using four central points: the preamble, principles, general norms and dicasteries. With emphasis on the Holy Father’s reformations, the paradigm shifts, the importance of participation of all, and the application of the dicasteries, Monsignor Sayer outlined the points of the document that were especially relevant to the Asian Church, and concluded with questions on the application of the document for reflection. The session was followed by a plenary conversation with Monsignor Sayer and H.E. Cardinal Gracias.
https://licensfreecasino.com The way Msgr Sayer broke down Prædicate Evangelium into the preamble, principles, norms, and dicasteries really helps make the reformations and the shift toward greater participation understandable for the Asian context. Those final reflection questions were a good prompt for the plenary with Cardinal Gracias. For anyone exploring how these governance changes might play out, this resource offers thoughtful additional reading.
