.@BishopBarron: response 2: Via Pulchritudinis (Way of Beauty) - with @pontifex, as catechists, let's take advantage of our "beautiful faith" (art, music, literature, etc) #ncclconvocation

Hayes: People are hungry to know their own history, their own cultural religious history (e.g. African Christianity) // how do we as catechists respond to this hunger?

Hayes (paraphrasing Peter Phan): Catechesis (like theology) must be contextual & intercultural -where theology/catechesis does not encounter an "other" culture, but where it exists within reality of diversity of various cultures -- no one culture can be normative #NCCLConvocation

.@BishopBarron: Response 3: Stop dumbing down our faith -- yes, catechesis can get over-intellectualized, but we have dumbed down our faith and it is time to change it - if young can handle math and science, why not better than comic book catechesis? #ncclconvocation

.@BishopBarron: phenomenon observed by Andrew Greeley (unaffiliated Catholics staying spiritually Catholic) seems to have changed over time, noting research by @jean_twenge & Christian Smith (Notre Dame) - spirituality withers when not connected to own tradition #ncclconvocation

.@BishopBarron: how do we respond:(1)Involve unaffiliated w/works of justice (not just Kantian approach- "religion about doing good")-but justice & loving each other is what church does(from Tertuallian to Dorothy Day to today)& opening to entire mystery of faith #ncclconvocation

Dr. Diana Hayes: Persons of color are the new wine bubbling up in the church in the wake of Vatican II - cultural diversity is the new evangelization #ncclconvocation #weareNCCL [corrected: wanted to get this tweet right]

Dr. Diana Hayes: At liturgy (at inculturated liturgy), we mirror the world. We show the world how it's done

Dr. Diana Hayes speaking on catechesis as a *nurturing* ministry for those on the way of discipleship // Don't we sometimes forget this?

Hayes just pointed to cultural diversity as happening in our parish often without us noticing // indeed, a seed that grows, we know not how! #ncclconvocation

.@BishopBarron" Finally - being digital missionaries is about going out to get nones, because they're not going to come to us -- pay attn to the SPACE we are in: outside the walls of church &match the METHODS of response (e.g. masculine energy in youtube convo) #ncclconvocation

.@roypetitfils: Grace fills the cracks of the heart when we pay attention to it... sacred space allows us and those we serve pay attention to grace... and sacred space of being attentive to one another

.@BishopBarron: Response 6: Make every parish a missionary society - THIS is what Vatican II was about (not internal concerns) -- thrust of Paul VI, John Paul II, Benedict XVI, Francis ... and also Rick Warren and others #ncclconvocation
