Ministério da visitação comunitária: desafios e estímulos

Abstract

With the increasing number of people leaving their communities in search of new proposals, the church needs questioning. This implies pointing out the deficiency that communities feel in the ministry of visitation. In this sense, one wonders why visit, as well as what is a ministry of visitation and what are the challenges of this ministry. From the questions, we find the stimuli for such occupation, the attributions and responsibilities of the ministry of visitation in the community of faith that aims to be a therapeutic community based on this ministry. The present work is structured in three chapters, one dedicated to the challenges encountered with regard to the ministry of visitation, the other to stimuli and what induces the faith community to engage in community visitation, and the last one that proposes reflection on the responsibility based on faith and the possible results found based on visitation.
