The main lines of ecclesiological reflection in Evangelii gaudium

Summary/Abstract: Pope Francis builds his ecclesiology around thestatement that the Church is a community ofChrist’s disciples, sent to the world to announcethe Good News. This announcing should alwaysmaintain the dynamics of the kerygma. The community of disciples is a community of weak, sinfulpeople believing in Christ and seeking conversion.The conversion should result in the transformationof the Church structures. The world to which theChurch has been sent is loved by God, and in everyhuman being God’s grace is at work, even beforethey are reached by the Gospel. The Church, therefore, does not need to occupy a central position inorder to fulfill its mission. Such understanding ofthe community, its mission and the world is thestarting point for the interpretation of the wholerange of situations in which the Church lives today. Particularly striking are the reflections on thecity as a place of living and evangelisation, wherethe Church should concentrate significant efforts.
