Looking for a new language of evangelisation

(Vatican Radio) Bishops from around the globe head back to their home diocese after three week’s work at the Synod on new evangelisation, which officially concluded with the Papal Mass on Sunday. But what will they be taking back home from this experience of sharing concerns with Church leaders from so many other countries? How will the work of the Synod shape their pastoral planning? And how much do they feel the final message and list of propositions reflect the richness of the universal Church?
Vatican Radio’s Philippa Hitchen spoke to Archbishop Diarmuid Martin of Dublin on the final day of the Synod to find some answers to those questions…..

Listen:

They (the propositions) bring together various threads and trends that were discussed throughout the Synod.....it's very difficult to do that when the members of the Synod come from so many parts of the world - in one of the small groups there were 22 nations represented.....

How do you talk about the transcendent in a language which tries to reference everything in what is actually taking place…....how do you speak about fidelity, not only in marriage but also in our relationship with God?
