Summary:
"Thinking how the Church needs to change if it is constantly to fulfil its mission better is an activity that has been part of its life since the beginning ... There are four parts to this issue: Why and how can we frame the question of the Church of the future? What view of this issue is emerging in the continents of the South? What are the significant fields we must explore to imagine the future? And where can we find an idea that holds everything together?"--Page 7.
