This book offers the
proceedings of the third Colloquium on the New Evangelisation held in Sydney, Australia,
in April 2008.
The Colloquium brought
together people involved in the New Evangelisation from across Australia and
beyond. It was a unique gathering of many people engaged in a wide range of
works inspired by the call to find new ways to proclaim the Gospel in cultures
where the Christian underpinnings have been weakened. The Colloquium proved an
opportunity for many working in particular fields of evangelisation to meet
others with a common mind and heart. The coming together was fruitful in its
own right.
This Colloquium
focussed its attention on the question of evangelical preaching. Preaching has
been seen in the Catholic context chiefly as a liturgically based activity,
usually the domain of the priest. The Church, however, has had a tradition of
renewal movements that have fostered forms of evangelical preaching, which have
not always been the exclusive domain of clerics. The Colloquium proposed
evangelical preaching against the background of the new ecclesial movements in
the Church and an emerging charism of evangelical preaching.
The Colloquium featured
contributions by Archbishop Mark Coleridge, Bishop Julian Porteous, Fr Ken
Barker, Shayne and Shanelle Bennett and Robert Falzon, all leading figures in
the development of the New Evangelisation in Australia
