V Encuentro Proceedings and Conclusions

Proceedings and Conclusions of the V National Encuentro of Hispanic/Latino Ministry | 45 Getting Involved – with Words and Actions: Do it! Moment 2: Friday, September 21, 2018, 8:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. A Church that Gets Involved – Morning Plenary and Regional Session 1 In the passage on the way to Emmaus, Jesus shows us the importance of asking questions as an essential step in the evangelizing process. The methodology of the V Encuentro calls for an encounter with others in which we listen to them first, particularly persons who are going through very difficult moments. It must be initiated by asking them about their lives, their con- cerns, their hopes, their ideas, their needs, their dreams. It means listening deeply and creating a space of trust and safety.
