Summary:This study offers a thorough and systematic analysis of the laity's call to evangelization as it was presented in the 1987 synod, Pope John Paul II's post-synodal exhortation Christifideles laici, and selected documents of the episcopal conference of the United States. It addresses such important issues as the ecclesiological foundations and diverse dimensions of lay evangelization, the relationship of the laity and the hierarchy, and the specific vocations of individuals, families, and lay associations to participate in the mission of the church.
