SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
Aware of post-modernity in all its various shapes and manifestations, Edith Bernard explores what it means to be missionary in the context of contemporary France where people have so many questions and where post-modernity's child, deconstruction is often the name of the game. Given the extraordinary diversity of solutions to the question raised in the post-modern world, careful discernment is required if one is to successfully navigate the shoals that await the unwary and unthinking. Bearing witness to the Spirit means growing in an awareness of the Spirit present in the joys, sorrows, dramas, and predicaments of the world, realities to which the missionary is called to respond.
