But just what is this “new evangelization” T called for by our Pope? The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops provides us with answers to three key questions: • What is the New Evangelization? “The New Evangelization calls each of us to deepen our faith, believe in the Gospel message and go forth to proclaim the Gospel. The focus of the New Evangelization calls all Catholics to be evangelized and then go forth to evangelize. In a special way, the New Evangelization is focused on ‘re-proposing’ the Gospel to those who have experienced a crisis of faith. Pope Benedict XVI called for the ‘proposing’ of the Gospels ‘to those regions awaiting the first evangelization and to those regions where the roots of Christianity are deep but who have experienced serious crises of faith due to secularization’. The New Evangelization invites each Catholic to renew their relationship with Jesus Christ and His Church.” • Why do we need the New Evangelization? “The New Evangelization offers hope. Jesus grants all people rest and comfort from the world’s burdens (Mt.11:28) by offering us the hope of salvation and eternal life. Through the ‘re-proposing’ of the Gospel, the Church seeks to comfort all those who are burdened. The New Evangelization offers the gifts of faith, hope, love and new life in Christ.” • How should we in the United States view the New Evangelization? “The Church in the United States can be likened to the mustard seed. The Church has been present in the Americas since the first missionaries arrived in the 15th Century. Over the past five centuries, the Church’s foundation has sprung up and taken root in the United States, spreading her branches and offering shade to the weary. This can be seen simply by looking at the work of Catholic charities on behalf of the poor, the network of Catholic schools offering education to millions, and the commitment of the U.S. Catholics to the Church’s social justice teachings. However, there is still work to do… The seed of the Church is present, but the message of Jesus Christ needs to be re-sown and watered for those who have already heard Christ’s call, but who have not been fully evangelized or catechized. Truly, the seed of Christ’s message has taken root and yielded much fruit in past seasons.” Our pope is challenging Catholics in the United States to stand up and influence for the better the secular world in which we live. He is asking us to express our religious beliefs to the fullest This is a time for us to live our lives as devout Catholics; to bring back those who have drifted away, and to evangelize those who seek the truth and love of God. In this edition of The Athenaeum Magazine readers will find the Rev. Robert Hater, professor of systematic and pastoral theology providing an overview of the New Evangelization; Dr Terrance D. Callan, dean of the Special Studies Division, reporting the views of Archbishop J. Augustine DiNoia, vice president of the Pontifical Commission “Ecclesia Dei”, as presented at the Athenaeum’s LeBlond Lecture in September; the Deacon Jeremy Miller, a seminarian at Mount St. Mary’s Seminary of the West who will be ordained in June for the Diocese of Toledo, discussing how Pope John Paul II planted the roots of a New Evangelization, and Dr. Susan McGurgan, director of the Lay Pastoral Ministry Program, discussing the lay Catholic’s role in...

or most lay Catholics, the opportunity to evangelize emerges in Fthe midst of everyday life. We witness by our lives and actions; by the choices we make and the values we uphold. This “indirect” evangelization is both vital and powerful. Friends and strangers notice that there is “something different” about a Catholic living his or her faith with integrity and purpose. There are times, though, when we are invited or challenged to speak directly about our faith, sharing what we believe with

someone else. Too often, we allow these opportunities to simply Christian Cone-LombartePhoto by slip away. We may think we have nothing to say and dismiss the richness of our own experience. Or, we have too much to say and cannot organize our thoughts into a fruitful conversation. We may see evangelization as the job of the clergy or professional parish staff. We hold back because we are not slick or smart, or sometimes even very nice. We wonder what anyone could learn from our ordinary lives; our everyday challenges; our recurring struggles and sins. Yet, God has summoned each Christian to be a witness of what he or she has “seen and heard” (I John 1:3). Two thousand years ago, Jesus looked at the flawed and fragile people around him—people just like us, and said, “Go, and make disciples of all nations. Baptize them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.” Their witness to others was the first form of evangelization. It is how the Church spread from a small group of believers in the remote villages of Judea to the vast stretches of the Roman Empire—by person to person combustion. Dr. Susan McGurgan Among those early disciples were men and women wounded by sin and blinded by greed.

he story of Jesus inviting Peter to come out to Him on the Twater can serve as a very strong challenge for the Year of Faith. Of all the gifts given by God, faith is the most precious. It makes everything else possible. God makes Himself known and invites us to come to Him. Jesus seems to be asking the impossible from Peter. Th is is a challenge the world has always faced.

When the disciples see Jesus walking on the water, seeming to go past their boat, they think it is a ghost. But when Jesus tells them not to be afraid, Peter decides to test Jesus. If this person is really Jesus and not a ghost, then Jesus can call him to come out on the water. But the one who is testing Jesus quickly becomes the one who is tested by Jesus. Peter asks for the impossible, and Jesus grants his request. Peter leaves the boat and his physical security for the sake of being close to Jesus, even if it meant walking on water.

A NNNUALN U A L FUUNDN D

The Annual Fund sustains and enhances the Athenaeum, providing the educational foundation needed by the future leaders of the Church. Tuition only covers a small percentage of the cost of educating an Athenaeum stu- dent. The school depends upon the generosity of donors to the Annual Fund to meet its daily operating costs. Your contribution to the Annual Fund: • Provides the educational foundation for the future leaders of our Church. • Provides funding needed to run numerous academic programs (salary, materials). • Provides tuition and housing expenses for our seminarians. • Helps keep our tuition affordable for lay students. • Provides funding for building operational costs and maintenance expenses. • Provides funding to maintain the institution’s technology (computers, phones). • Benefits you with a tax deduction for making a charitable gift. • Most importantly, is a faith expression and testimony to your commitment to the future Catholic Church. Since 1829, Catholics throughout the Archdiocese of Cincinnati and throughout the world have experienced and benefited from The Athenaeum of Ohio. Your gift, no matter how modest, is making a difference.

Seminarian Spends Summer Learning Greek in London Seminarian Peter Langenkamp returned August 15 from a six-week course in Classical Greek. The course was offered by King’s College in London, England. He studied at the Strand Campus, one of several campuses of the college in London. “Having taken two quarters of Biblical Greek this past year, I expressed to several members of the Athenaeum faculty — particularly Monsignor Frank Lane — my interest in Biblical Greek and my desire to continue studying the subject over the summer. I was told that there were some funds available if I wanted to take a formal course, so I began a search for colleges offering intensive summer courses in Ancient Greek,” Mr. Langenkamp said. “I chose this King’s College program for its intensive nature, its relatively short duration, and its rea- sonable fees. I was able to win a small scholarship offered through the college’s Department of Classics; and, through the efforts of Monsignor Lane, I also was able to secure free housing in London. While in London, I stayed at St. Etheldreda’s Convent which is run by the Rosminian Sisters and is located in Ely Place, London. The location was perfect, as it was only a short fifteen minute walk to class each day. “I am very grateful to everyone who helped make this experience a reality. I thoroughly enjoyed my London adventure and found the entire experience very rewarding. The classes were challenging and required a good deal of work, but at the same time, I was able to explore the city which was particularly exciting with the Summer Olympics in early August,” Mr. Langenkamp said. “My studies in London have left me with a strong desire to continue studying and reading Greek — building upon the foundation the summer course helped to lay.” 34 The Athenaeum Magazine First “Taste and See” Draws Large Number of Donors and Guests he first “Taste and See” event to benefit The Athenaeum Tof Ohio/Mount St. Mary’s Seminary of the West was held September 11 with 256 people attending.

Guests tasted wines and beers, enjoyed light fare prepared by the Athenaeum’s culinary staff, enjoyed music from the band Easter Rising, walked the grounds, and toured the building. People gathered outdoors in the Marian Courtyard. Prospective members had the opportunity to meet and chat with Cincinnati Archbishop Dennis M.
