or the modern world and the Church, this encyclical introduces the commitment to evangelization as the Church's primary service. This introduction is followed by seven sections which cover: the connection between Christ the evangelizer and a Church which, by Christ's mandate, is evangelizing by definition; the content of evangelization in all its breadth; the methods of evangelization; the beneficiaries of evangelization; those who carry out the ministry of evangelization; the spirit of evangelization; and Mary as the Star of Evangelization.
