Archbishop Dew has hope in Synod outcomes

Archbishop John Dew arrived back from the Synod of Bishops with many questions, including “what is the New Evangelization”, and “Why do we need a New Evangelization?”

The archbishop expressed hope that some of the things spoken about which were specifically about what parishes and schools will be elaborated on.

“Hopefully some of that will come out in the final document” the archbishops said in his letter to priests and pastoral leaders”.

“One of the things that came though very loud and clear is that the Christian message is not just any piece of ‘good news,’ but the Good News. It is the only complete, lasting and full answer to the longing that is in every human heart”.

The archbishop told the priests and parish leaders some of the presentations were inspiring, and a number were less so.

Archbishop Dew said he is very pleased to be back in Wellington.
