Decree on the Missionary Activity of the Church
We in the Church have a strong sense that we are called to offer all humans that which makes human life most noble: God's word and presence! We have a sense of mission about this because of Christ's command to preach the Gospel to all. But this missionary self-identity also comes from the nature of the Church itself: that it is universal, that is has something to offer to all, that it addresses the entire world with the Word of God. We want to be the "salt of the earth" and the "light of the world." This document outlines principles for this work.
