The next Accompaniment and Solidarity video gathering is this Thursday, May 7, 2020 at 12 pm ET, 11 am CT, 10 am MT, and 9 am PT. REGISTER HERE to access the meeting.
The meeting will focus on three issues:
Over 150 people registered for Bishop James Schuerman’s webinar titled “Let Us Cross to the Other Side (Mark 4:35) – A Border-Crossing Spirituality of Mission.” Bishop Jim’s presentation was well-received, generated a lot of good questions and conversation, and engaged people from all over the country.
The video is already posted on USCMA’s website. You can access it HERE. On the same page, you can access the presentation slides. Bishop Jim has given USCMA permission to publish his talk and that will be available soon.
In the resources below you will find a link to Bishop Robert Barron’s homily yesterday, for the Fourth Sunday of Easter, where he reflects on the Acts of the Apostles and Peter’s “evangelical preaching.” His homily, which is excellent, raises some interesting questions about an evangelical approach to mission and a more contextual approach to mission. Share your comments on USCMA’s Facebook Page. Let’s begin a substantial, and respectful, dialogue about mission – its evangelical nature, the centrality of witness, the importance of context, and what it means to “preach the Good News.”
