In his 2013 Apostolic Exhortation on the Joy of the Gospel, Evangelii gaudium, a follow-up to the 2012 Synod on the new evangelization, Pope Francis issued a call for a ‘pastoral and missionary conversion’ at every level of ecclesial life. This paper explores the nature of that conversion as Pope Francis envisions it in a return to the kerygmatic proclamation and witness to salvation in Christ, in the need for spiritual conversion to overcome the malady of pastoral acedia, and in the renewal of ecclesial structures and culture at the local, regional, and universal levels respectively. |
