What is a “missionary disciple,” and what is he or she called to do? This plenary will explore the understanding of missionary discipleship as described by Evangelii Gaudium and other pertinent church documents, setting a foundation for advancing the call to be and to form missionary disciples across the United States.
“Today as the Church seeks to experience a profound missionary renewal, there is a kind of preaching which falls to each of us as a daily responsibility . . . Being a disciple means being constantly ready to bring the love of Jesus to others, and this can happen unexpectedly and in any place: on the street, in a city square, during work, on a journey.” —EG, no. 127
