In the second major address of the symposium, Orlando B. Cardinal Quevedo, O.M.I., D.D. (“The Call to New Evangelization: The Church in Asia in the Next 50 Years”) focused on the challenges of evangelization in Asia. How does the Church in Asia understand “evangelization” or “New Evangelization”? For the Church in Asia, proclamation and dialogue are not two separate elements of evangelization; rather, “[p]roclamation and all other paths of evangelization are in the mode of dialogue” (p. 30). Far from diminishing the importance of the explicit proclamation of the Gospel, telling the story of Jesus Christ can be more effective if he is given, as it were, an “Asian face,” i.e., images of Jesus intelligible to the ethos and culture of Asia, such as “the Teacher of Wisdom, the Healer, the Liberator, the Spiritual Guide, the Enlightened One, the Compassionate Friend of the Poor …” (p. 31). – from the Editor’s Preface
