[59.1] CATHOLICS CONSULT ON EVANGELISATION

On 23-24 November 2004 the Catholic Agency to Support Evangelisation (CASE) held a joint consultation with Building Bridges of Hope at All Saints pastoral Centre, London Colney.

CASE was set up recently by the Roman Catholic Bishops' Conference of England and Wales as successor to the Catholic Missionary Society. It aims to be a galvanising resource for congregations, religious, diocese and movements - old and ew- within the Church.

The theme of the gathering was Changing Evagelisation, which is also the title of a book commissioned from Fr Philip Knights of CASE by Churches Together in Britain and Ireland (CTBI). It will be published in 2005.

Nearly 50 people from England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales came together to share stories, ideas, good prcatice and future possibilities. CASE will use the material in its own strategising, and in further conersations about the renewal and sharing of faith within and beyond the Catholic community.

Presenters icluded Mgr Keith Barltrop, the Director of CASE. Simon Barrow of the CTBI Churches' Commission on Mission acted as a 'reflector' to the consultation, helping those present to discern key themes and issues.

This models the method developed within BBH of 'mission accompaniment'. A report will follow.
