Episode 57 - Sharing the Faith: Understanding the Secular Vocations of the Laity
Dr. Tom Neal talks with Peter Andrastek, a senior ministry consultant with Evangelical Catholic, about his article “The Catholic Church Lacks an Imagination for Lay Agency” and the broader vocation of the laity. Peter emphasizes the need for pastoral leaders to understand and support laypeople's secular vocations, and suggests reframing the "parish" less as the primary place of evangelization and more as a center of apostolic formation, since the main “turf” of evangelization is the secular world itself.
