Proclamation and Proposal of Faith Today Issues and Challenges (original) (raw)

The paper discusses the growing distance of individuals from established Christianity, identifying five facets of resistance to faith among younger generations. It argues for a shift from traditional catechetical practices towards a more initiation-focused approach, emphasizing the need for a maturation process in faith linked to personal commitment to the Christian community. The author posits that despite a decline in a particular expression of Christianity, a new pastoral construct and missionary spirituality can emerge, fostering vibrant Christian communities that serve humanity and spread the message of Jesus Christ.
