Letters From the Synod - 2023: #9

My thoughts reflect two aspects of my life: my lay ministry over many years to college students, young professionals, prison inmates, and homeless men; and my career in helping companies and institutions improve their ways of working together. Those experiences have taught me some lessons and I would like to share them with you. Spend a lot more time talking to those who do not believe. The periphery defines the goal and mission of the Church. These precious people are not other Catholics within the Church. Rather, they are outsiders, the ones who do not yet flourish as followers of Christ.
