Mission, Evangelization, and Discipleship   PLENARY ADDRESS "THE NEW EVANGELIZATION: RENEWING THE CHURCH," 2013 Presenter: Anthony Gittins, C.S.Sp., professor emeritus of mission and culture, Catholic Theological Union With more than 80 definitions of "evangelization" presently circulating, we should perhaps recall that the word applies, first and foremost, to Jesus.  This plenary address from the 2013 conference, The New Evangelization: Renewing the Church, considers what Jesus did and why, and poses the question: what happens to evangelization after the resurrection and ascension?  The answer links God's eternal mission with our own Christian response.
