Rich McPherson joins me to discuss Fr. James Shea's long essay From Christendom to Apostolic Mission: Pastoral Strategies for an Apostolic Age. The essay asks that we first acknowledge we are no longer living in a culture governed by Christian values and institutions and then that we adopt approaches commensurate with this shift. The apostolic age brings with it an optimism as Christians find themselves sharing a sacramental vision with others, rather than being disappointed that others don't always already hold that vision. This conversation is especially fun and successful because Rich and I have each immersed ourselves pretty fully in this inspiring text.
