Glenmary At A Glance








Commission on Evangelization


Reflection/Discussion Starters

People's Yearnings

A study by Margaret Ann Crain and Jack Seymour from Garrett-Evangelical Seminary, Evanston, Ill., identified these eight things for which people today yearn:

1. meaningful work consistent with faith

2. connection with grace and spirit

3. meaning and healing in personal crisis

4. ways to address suffering and evil

5. certainty and order

6. ways to be known and accepted\

7. ways to build community and bridge differences

8. hope.

   Consider:

  1. Does this list connect with your experience ? Why or why not?

  2. For your locality, would you add, delete or change any items?

  3. In what ways do you or your parish communicate that the Catholic Church provides ways to satisfy these yearnings? Who is your audience?
  4. Is there one other person with whom you could discuss this list?
