New Evangelisation

New Evangelisation





Entire groups of the baptised have lost a living sense of the faith, or even no longer consider themselves members of the Church, and live in a life removed from Christ and his Gospels.  In this case what is needed is a “new evangelisation” or “re-evangelisation.”

Pope John Paul ll




“The term “new evangelisation” highlights the increasingly clear awareness that even in countries with an ancient Christian tradition the need has arisen for a renewed proclamation of the Gospel, to lead people back to an encounter with Christ that transforms life and really is neither superficial nor by rote.”
Pope Francis

Alpha’s easy style and welcoming atmosphere make it a wonderful way of responding to the call of a New Evangelisation and sharing the Kerygma [the core of the Gospel message] with others.
