From Maintenance to Mission: Evangelization and the Revitalization of the Parish
Search in google:
"Many parishes today have become so preoccupied with the challenge of maintaining their status quo that they risk losing sight of the larger mission of evangelization. From Maintenance to Mission sets before us the perennial challenge to become Catholic evangelizers and proposes concrete ways to move from maintenance- to mission-oriented parishes." The author makes the case that evangelization holds the key to the future of the church and was in fact the centerpiece of post-Vatican Council reform. From Maintenance to Mission presents a compelling vision of Catholic evangelization and outlines some strategic thinking to help us implement the great vision to which we have been called.
