Evangelisation is not about changing somebody else's faith, it's primarily setting the Gospel as the form of life that liberates us from all comfortable certainties.
Due to our certainties we often tend to defend our structures, systems, definitions, and positions even if there are faults and failures. In every challenge, accusation, opposition, there is a 'human cry' before the church and history for a timely response. Certainties offer ready-made answers and demands the world to accepted them for answers, but they don't germinate life. enlivening in the Gospel means conversing with these human cry, listening to the voice of God in them, and placing them in the promises of the gospel to come to the consolation and peace.
Human conditions are always at the core of philosophising process. Pure intellectual exercise cannot make philosophy. Sustaining philosophy emerges from human empathy, compassion, and the truth of the human conditions.
Gospel cannot be theoretical exercises without human conditions. Attitudes and vision of Christ is the Gospel. Then, gospel becomes light for human conditions, and it is the model for life and common efforts.
