FYI, For those of you passionate about the New Evangelization:
Sacred Heart seminary in Detroit began the first STL in the US in the New Evangelization in 2004. They offer an STL (Licentiate in Sacred Theology, pontifical degree which allows the graduate to teach at the seiminary level), an MA in theology, and an MA in Pastoral Studies, all with a specialization in the New Evangelization.
The goal? The graduates lead programs in evangelization in parishes or dioceses. What is interesting is that the program is headed up by Ralph Martin, who is not an academic (MA in theology) but a actual practicing evangelist of many years experience.
I've wondered exactly how they approach the topic and will get a chance to find out more this October 24 when I'm scheduled to speak on charisms in the "Models of Evangelization course".
