Dear
friends,
Under the
general
title
which
has
been
entrusted
to me “Mission
in an
era of
Globalization”, I
shall
endeavour
to
be
as
clear
as
possibile with
the information
and reflections
I am
about
to
present
to
you.
I will
define the
principle
characteristics
of the present
Era of
Globalization in the
political,
economical
and religious
fields,
the importance
and influence
of new
technology,
as
well
as the
main
challenges
facing
humanity
in the XXI
century.
At such a meeting on
mission
and
evangelization
it
seems
to me
important
to
reflect
on the
principle
tasks
facing
religious
and
evangelizing
bodies
in the
different
societies
of the world.
Faced
with
many
societies
where
blood
is
being
shed, I
would
like
to
present
the work and
commitment of
those
who
evangelize
the poorest
and most
abandoned
people and the precise
preparation
and
organization
they
need in
order
to do
this
efficiently.
