Kevin Lowry on Evangelization

"Conversion is hard.

"It also takes a long time. How many people do you know who have just woken up one day and decided to change their religion, political affiliation, or even favorite football team? I can’t think of anyone. These changes do happen sometimes, but they usually result from a long process. Heck, my conversion to Catholicism took the better part of ten years, and that was relatively quick – my parents took around thirty."

"If you think about it, conversion involves dealing with some of the most important questions of life – and involves examining our very identities, who we are and how we fit into this world of ours. It’s a fascinating topic, so much that it will be the focus of my second book that I’m working on right now. How we answer these questions, and how in particular we respond to the gospel – that calls us to conversion – changes everything. About ourselves.

"And that’s hard."

In a recent commentary, writer Kevin Lowry offered a reflection on the evangelization process.
