Be certain that things are fixed and finished. No future study. No open to discovery of more or other. This is fundamentalism. It keeps one from having discussions or from listening or being open. I like the recovery program model. It is suggestions that have worked for many. It has a track record, but still it is suggestions. And it is always open to learning more from modern science and research. Evangelization, at its best, invites people to take a look or to consider. Differences are not the problem. Open listening is a way to stay in touch with differences.

I sincerely hope your mission thrives. The Church these days seems overly intent on preaching politics and battering its members with ultimatums and threats instead of focusing on the messages of love, forgiveness and daily sacrifice that convert followers from the inside out and are therefore more effective in the long run!
