Time Off Purgatory with Steve the Missionary

Evangelization as Generosity

Last updated on: March 15, 2016 at 8:09 am   by Steve the Missionary

Evangelization as Generosity 2016-03-15T08:09:00-08:00 Steve the Missionary

LOGO Patheos Explore the world's faith through different perspectives on religion and spirituality! Patheos has the views of the prevalent religions and spiritualities of the world.

Americans, trained by charlatan prosperity-gospel televangelists, have a very particular image of “Evangelization” in their  heads. And that image is selfish. Evangelization is all about taking.

This is not the evangelism of Pope Francis. Pope Francis sees evangelization as just another work of mercy within the Church. There is no selfishness in it. Evangelization, just like feeding and housing, is in fact generous.
