Abstract

This project focuses on the evolving meaning and experience of the terms mission and evangelization in Roman Catholic theology. The evolution demonstrates a marked shift in meaning from the experience of the Apostles to the use of the terms in today's context. The shifts are positive because they once again call the laity and the church community to mission and evangelization. This project focuses especially on the role of the RCIA sponsor. Sponsors serve as examples of lay persons recognizing the call to mission and evangelization. They are a group in need of formation in mission and evangelization. The educational design for RCIA sponsors focuses on the role of the lay person and the community in mission and evangelization, and also provides an opportunity for the sponsors to experience the tie between their actions on behalf of the candidates as well as the action of the community. By providing an opportunity to experience an RCIA rite, the sponsors see the importance of worship and liturgy in the evangelization process.
