Plenum 2 LIVING YOUR DISCIPLESHIP: OUR CALLING
TO PROPHETIC, PASTORAL MINISTRY Laura Fanucci
In the Gospels we find seven ways that Christ calls us to live our discipleship: as follower, worshiper, witness, neighbor, forgiver, prophet, and steward. How does pastoral ministry invite us into these seven modes of discipleship—and how can our encounters with those we serve open a way into everyday evangelization? Through stories from Scripture and our own lives, we will come to see how our calling as disciples is lived out through song, Sacrament, and service of our faith communities.
