The Church in America (Ecclesia in America)
Pope John Paul II relates the history of the recent Synod for America and calls the Church here to "preach the Gospel to all creation" (Mk 16:15). Beginning with a brief history of the events leading up to the 1997 Synod, the Holy Father then encourages the faithful in America to experience the Lord anew. Genuine personal encounters will bring forth a renewal of the Church, for "the encounter with the living Jesus Christ is the path to conversion, communion, and solidarity." The Holy Father concludes by inviting all Catholics of America to "take an active part in the evangelizing initiatives which the Holy Spirit is stirring in every part of this immense continent." This post-synodal apostolic exhortation was issued January 22, 1999 during the pope's visit to Mexico City.
