This is the kind of out...I couldn't agree more! This is the kind of out of the box thinking that is desperately needed in the Church.<br />To Fr. Jack's list of mission fields I would add Media as another "Field Afar". <br />Of course, to be truly effective the new MM must be a legitimate part of the sector that they seek to evangelize. You can't just drop a priest in the middle of a group that exists based on certain expertise for membership in the group (as opposed to a physical locale).<br />One approach for Maryknoll is to identify people already in these target sectors who can be trained as Missioners and have membership in one of the MM societies. Lay missioners, for sure, and I would suggest Maryknoll ordaining it's own Deacons from these groups. Priests will have to be formed like "worker priests" with expertise in their mission sector.<br /><br />I'm offering to have a drink with Fr. Jack. I'm buying!<br /><br />Dn.
