The Archbishop of Detroit has issued a pastoral letter for his local Church which aims to encourage evangelization as an "outward, mission-focused" Church through proper formation and evangelical charity.
Issued June 3, the Vigil of Pentecost, Unleash the Gospel is the fruit of a diocesan synod held in 2016.
The missionary conversion at which the letter aims "entails making one's relationship with Jesus and alignment with his will the central guiding principle of every aspect of life," Archbishop Allen Vigneron wrote.
The letter was written in preparation for the coming years and is a reflection on the Detroit diocesan synod which met Nov. 18-20, 2016.
