The Pastoral Circle – Explained
This resource is an interactive presentation explaining how to use this tool in daily life. It’s a tool that directs faith to relevant political, social, and economic events. The pastoral circle is a tool to be used incarnationally in the sense that it requires that we insert ourselves into a local situation so that we can observe, judge, and act on reality from the perspective of our faith, relying on the Catholic Social tradition.
When we insert ourselves in a situation, we can’t help but be affected by reality. The pastoral circle promotes action that touches our deepest values and motivates an organized response.
