Every believer is required to take an active part. Religious Freedom Evangelization relies on the power of the Gospel itself to draw people and rejects any notion of imposing faith. Faith must be a free and conscious decision made under the leading of divine grace. Witness is a form of communication that never coerces but gently invites others to enter into a community of loving trust. Dialogue Evangelization includes proclamation and dialogue as two distinct components never entirely separate from each other.
Proclamation is to be marked by the spirit of dialogue.
Before speaking it is necessary to listen not only to the voices of others but to their hearts, and to speak to them in a spirit of friendship and service. Evangelization of Cultures Evangelization seeks to bring the Gospel to many cultures, drawing out the best in each and transforming it. The Gospel encounters and permeates a variety of cultures and needs to be proclaimed in a way that can be understood and assimilated by the hearers. Transformation of Social Structures Evangelization cannot be indifferent to the suffering, inequities and oppression that affects so much of the world's population. Action on behalf of justice and participation in the transformation of the world are constitutive elements of the preaching of the Gospel.
