Tonya, you are right, Catalyst was thought provoking. Many of the speaker challenged some of the preconceived notions that we hold about leadership and ministry. I thank you for being vulnerable and transparent with your own struggles of insecurities and inadequacies.

The document contextualizes the call to “conversion, communion, and solidarity” in Ecclesia in America as the way to pursue the vision of “unity in diversity” with a “new evangelization.”
