Abstract

The term new evangelisation has over the past few years become one of the most used terms in various discussions in the Church. It is obvious that there is no unique definition of this term. Existing presumptions are very dependent on the degree of openness towards Council perceptions of the Church as a mystery and as God’s people. Today, particularly in Europe, we can see the need to simultaneously realise at least three ecclesial strategies: primary evangelisation; pastoral care; and new evangelisation. What is able to attract and convince contemporary man searching for spirituality, it is a live and active community of the faithful. New evangelisation as an independent project cannot succeed unless it becomes an integral part of the pastoral care of the parish and the community of the faithful. It cannot succeed either if it is accepted by the priests only. Half a century after the Council it would be a time for the laity to take its place in evangelisation. Endeavours in new evangelisation could be an exceptional opportunity for fundamental renewal of our parishes and communities of the faithful.
