A new evangelization is synonymous with mission, requiring the capacity to set out anew, go beyond boundaries, and broaden horizons. The new evangelization is the opposite of self-sufficiency, a withdrawal into oneself, a status quo mentality, and an idea that pastoral programs are simply to proceed as they did in the past. Today business as usual” attitude can no longer be the case. Some local Churches, already engaged in renewal, reconfirm the fact that now is the time for the Church to call upon every Christian community to evaluate their pastoral practice on the basis of the missionary character of their program and activities.
