EVANGELIZA TION
Catholics Have Kept
Faith ‘To Ourselves”
HARTFORD, Conn. (NC) - While Catholics have kept
the faith, “the problem is that we have kept it to ourselves,”
Archbishop John Whealon of Hartford told more than
5,000 Catholic evangelizers in Hartford Aug. 21-23 at the
East Coast 1981 Lay Celebration of Evangelization.
The gathering, the third of three evangelization
conferences held across the country in August, was
described as “definitely the largest gathering of lay
evangelizers in the history of the United States” by Paulist
Father Alvin A. Illig, director of the National Conference of
Catholic Bishops’ Committee on Evangelization.
In addition to the 5,000 who attended general sessions
and more than 150 workshops on practical methods of
evangelization, an additional 3,000 came to the closing Mass
at the Hartford Coliseum.
Earlier evangelization conferences were held Aug. 6-8 in
Portland, Ore., and Aug. 13-15 in St. Louis.
Archbishop Whealon, in the conference’s opening
address, defined an evangelizer as “one who proclaims
enthusiastically, ‘Jesus Christ means everything to
me ... and this is too good to keep to myself.’
“In the past,” he continued, “we have sometimes been
defensive and have seen ourselves as second class citizens.
We have not worked hard enough evangelizing ourselves.”
The archbishop said the immediate target of Catholic
evangelizers should be the 15 million inactive Catholics in
the United States, followed by 80 million unchurched
Americans.
“Many Catholics have never even experienced a
conversion to Jesus Christ,” he said. “Various degrees of
apathy have led to alienation and to the point of
non-practice.”
Giving the keynote address was Consolata Father
Anthony Bellagamba, director of the U.S. Mission Council,
who called evangelization “a very precious word.”
“Many countries in the world simply don’t allow
evangelization,” said Father Bellagamba, noting that in
those countries lay people “are the only missionaries and
evangelizers we have.”
*2 He urged worldwide evangelization in signs and symbols
to relevant to the culture of individual nations, and he stressed
w the importance of lay ministries.
§ “Lay ecclesial base communities must be formed, each
§£ with a lay pastor to respond to the needs of the people,” he
< said.
He also called for a worldwide redistribution of priests
and envisioned the eventual ordination of married people as
a possible way of meeting the needs of Catholics living
outside Europe and North America.
‘Inept Preaching’
Father Timothy Tighe
Returns To Atlanta
Father Timothy Tighe,
C.S.P., a Paulist priest from
the National Office for
Evangelization, will return
to Atlanta this fall for an
extended teaching stay.
Father Tighe will
present a course in Old
Testament on Fridays from
September 11-November
20 at Holy Spirit Church in
Atlanta. The 10-week
course will run from
9:15-11:30 a.m. at a cost of
$20/person.
In addition, Father
Tighe will be spreading his
scriptural talents around
the archdiocese with visits
to numerous parishes.
Father Tighe will
present a short course on
the writings of John at
Corpus Christi Church in
Stone Mountain September
14-16 and September
21-23.
He will be at St. Thomas
More Church in Decatur to
discuss the letters of Paul
from September
27-October 1, and will
bring the Pauline discussion
to St. Francis Assisi
Church in Blairsville
October 4-7.
From Nov. 1-3 and 6-8,
Father Tighe will teach a
Fr. Timothy Tighe
course in John at
Immaculate Heart of Mary
Church in Atlanta and will
repeat the course on Paul at
Holy Spirit Church in
Atlanta November 15-19
and at St Jude’s Church in
Sandy Springs November
29-December 3.
An advent course,
“Awaiting the Messiah -
Old Testament
Expectations,” will be
offered at Holy Cross
Church in Chamblee
December 6-10.
Father Tighe is a native
of New Jersey and a
graduate of Assumption
College in Worcester,
Massachusetts. He attended
the Paulist Seminary in
Washington, D.C. and was
assigned to St. Patrick’s
parish in downtown
Memphis, Tennessee until
1978.
Working in the midst of
racial and social turmoil in
Memphis, Father Tighe
came to appreciate the
timeless value and
relevance of scripture. It
was scripture that guided
the small community
through very difficult
circumstances and enabled
the people of St. Patrick’s
to renew themselves and
-triple the size of the parish
over a 10-year period.
Father Tighe requests
that participants bring a
Bible to each session,
preferably the New
American Bible. High
School students are
welcome to attend.
For further
information, contact the
parishes listed for times and
directions.
Unacceptable
HARTFORD, Conn. (NC) - “The Catholic laity will no
longer accept inept preaching,” Archbishop John F.
Whealon of Hartford told participants in a seminar on
preaching.
More than 600 bishops, priests and deacons attended the
two-day seminar on “Effective Preaching in
Evangelization,” which preceded the third of three Catholic
Lay Celebrations on Evangelization.
The keynote speaker, Jesuit Father Walter J. Burghardt,
put it bluntly: “We preachers approach the pulpits with all
the imagination of a dead fish.”
Jesuit Father John Gallen agreed, advising participants
that “when our people complain that the contemporary
liturgy has lost its sense of mystery, listen to them because
they are right. All the recent surveys indicate that what is
going on in our parishes is dull and threadbare... and
belongs in the shabby category of rationalism, especially
when it comes to the homilies.”
Father Burghardt, resident theologian at Georgetown
University in Washington, cited several major problems as
preventing effective preaching: fear of Scripture, ignorance
of contempory theology, unawareness of liturgical prayer
and lack of proper preparation. But the most serious
problem of all, he said, is the lack of imagination, which was
the topic of his keynote address, “Preaching and
Imagination.”
“Without imagination the preacher limps along on one
leg .. . If your homily is only a masterpiece of Cartesian
clarity,” he told the assembly, “you are in deep trouble. The
homily should not be a laundry list of dogmas to be
believed, but a fascinating wedding of all those ways in
which imagination comes to expression: vision and ritual,
symbol and story, parable, allegory and myth, and the fine
arts. Our ideas are triggered by sense experience ... If I
want to share my experience of beef burgundy with you, I
don’t hand you the recipe ... I let you smell it, see it, taste
it. »
“This is the homily at its best, the homily that makes
God’s wonderful works come alive, immerses the hearer in
the mystery and evokes a religious response. Response --
that’s the magic word.”
Father Burghardt continued, “Even a more basic need is
that we priests need a conversion; we need fresh insight into
our priesthood.” He confessed somewhat tongue in cheek
that in the first half of his priesthood he had assumed that
the people came to the liturgy to leam and that their
responsibility was to “give ear to my homily and be seduced
by its beauty.” Now, 20 years later, he said, “I realize that
the purpose of the homily is to help Christians see Jesus.
People don’t want catechesis or theology ... They just
want to see Jesus.”
