It can be fostered and helped in various ways, but it cannot be simply decided upon. It has to grow. What has been suggested in this book is a reorientation in the life of the Church - a reorientation that will allow something new to grow and will allow the Church to profit from what is coming into being. The book does not tell how to do it. Such a book can be written, but there is also a need for people to understand the reorientation of attitude and approach which will be required before a new form of Church life can come about.
