![Page 19: Basic Ecclesial Communities: The What, the Why and the How](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081414/54bae70b4a795905668b457f/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Charism is a gift. The use of the gift to advance the life and mission of the Church is ministry. Ministry is, then, a form of service, exercised with stability and on a sufficiently broad basis, recognized by the Church and made its own (PCM II, p. 101) Put in a personal-communal context, ministry is simply the actualization of “what-I-Am-for- others”.
CHURCH MINISTRIES
![Page 20: Basic Ecclesial Communities: The What, the Why and the How](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081414/54bae70b4a795905668b457f/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Ministry is an active participation in the complete
mission of Christ: to proclaim, to serve and sanctify. In fact, this was the first inspiration of the framework of WES, which pertains to the participation of a Christian in the priesthood (worship), prophethood (education), and kingship (service) of his Master (PCM II, p. 107).
Church Ministries
![Page 21: Basic Ecclesial Communities: The What, the Why and the How](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081414/54bae70b4a795905668b457f/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
PCP II: Renewed Formation/Education Renewed Social Apostolate Renewed Worship
ORGANIZING – strategic component of integral evangelization
MINISTRIES IN THE CHURCH
![Page 22: Basic Ecclesial Communities: The What, the Why and the How](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081414/54bae70b4a795905668b457f/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
“Catholic associations and movements are
potent means of renewal in the Church Specifically, they can be harnessed in
promoting BECS: - The parish organizations and
movements may continue to be specialized “task forces” in accordance with their specific apostolic objectives
PARISH ORGANIZATIONS/ MOVEMENTS
![Page 23: Basic Ecclesial Communities: The What, the Why and the How](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081414/54bae70b4a795905668b457f/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
These organizations and movements provide
leadership necessary to animate the formation of small communities in their respective neighborhoods.
These organizations and movements are instruments of genuine conversion, venues of life-changing encounters with the Lord. They are schools of evangelical zeal
PARISH ORGANIZATIONS/ MOVEMENTS
![Page 24: Basic Ecclesial Communities: The What, the Why and the How](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081414/54bae70b4a795905668b457f/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Parish as a Process underlines the important
elements of building and sustaining relationships, forming and exercising leadership and creating and renewing organizational structures.
The Parish must give primary importance to this PROCESS.
PASTORAL LEADERSHIP
![Page 25: Basic Ecclesial Communities: The What, the Why and the How](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081414/54bae70b4a795905668b457f/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Thus, leadership in the Parish must be “dialogic”
and not “authoritarian”, “participative” and not “intolerant to criticism”, and “co-responsible” and not “not sharing power or responsibility”
Leadership at the grassroots must be empowering and liberating.

(PCP II, # 192)
MISSION
![Page 32: Basic Ecclesial Communities: The What, the Why and the How](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081414/54bae70b4a795905668b457f/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
DEFINITION: … the proclamation, above all, of
SALVATION from sin; the LIBERATION from everything oppressive to man; the DEVELOPMENT of man in all his dimensions, personal and communitarian; and, ultimately, the RENEWAL OF SOCIETY in all strata through the interplay of the GOSPEL TRUTHS and man’s concrete TOTAL LIFE (Pope Paul VI, Evangelii Nuntiandi, n. 9, 29)
THIS IS OUR TASK. THIS IS OUR MISSION. (CBCP, 1984)

II. Ano ang BEC?
![Page 37: Basic Ecclesial Communities: The What, the Why and the How](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081414/54bae70b4a795905668b457f/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Madalas na nating naririnig ang katagang MKK/Kawan o
BEC. Pare-pareho ba ang ibig nating sabihin kapag sinabi nating MKK/Kawan o BEC? Mayroong ibang grupo na tinatawag MKK/Kawan o BEC gaya ng CFC o charismatic groups. Ano nga ba ang MKK/Kawan/BEC?
Gusto nating tingnan sa sesyong ito kung bakit ba natatawag ang isang grupo na MKK/BEC? Anu-ano bang mga elemento o tanda ang dapat naroon sa isang grupo para ito matawag na isa nang MKK/BEC?
Anu-ano bang mga elemento o tanda ang dapat naroon sa isang grupo para ito matawag na isa nang MKK/BEC?
Kailan Masasabing BEC o MKK?
![Page 38: Basic Ecclesial Communities: The What, the Why and the How](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081414/54bae70b4a795905668b457f/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Definition of BEC “They are small communities of
Christians, usually of families who gather together around the Word of God and the Eucharist. These communities are united to their pastors but are ministered to regularly by lay leaders. The members know each other by name, and share not only the Word of God and the Eucharist but also their concerns both material and spiritual. They have a strong sense of belongingness and of responsibility for one another (PCP II, #138)
![Page 39: Basic Ecclesial Communities: The What, the Why and the How](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081414/54bae70b4a795905668b457f/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Ano ang ibig sabihin ng magkapitbahay? Ano ba
ang isang kapitbahayan? May relasyon ba ang mga tao sa kapitbahayan? Sa palagay ninyo ano ang dapat ang relasyon
ng mga magkakapitbahay sa isa’t isa? Bakit kaya ang isang MKK ay nasa
kapitbahayan?
Unang Tanda: Magkapitbahay
![Page 40: Basic Ecclesial Communities: The What, the Why and the How](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081414/54bae70b4a795905668b457f/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Naniniwala tayo na ang mga
magkakapitbahay ay hindi lamang isang aksidente o isang hindi sinasadyang pangyayari – yung bang nagkataon lang na kayo ay magkapitbahay.
Naniniwala tayo na ang ating kapitbahay ay ating kapamilya, mga kapatid sa iisang pananampalataya, sa iisang Ama. Kaya tayo ay tinatawagan ng ating iisang Magulang na tayo ay magkaroon ng malalim na relasyon sa ating mga kapitbahay.
![Page 41: Basic Ecclesial Communities: The What, the Why and the How](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081414/54bae70b4a795905668b457f/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Ang isa sa pinakadakilang habilin sa
atin ni Hesus: “Love your neighbor as you love yourself.” Mahalin mo ang iyong kapitbahay katulad ng pagmamahal mo sa iyong sarili. Isang pagtawag ng Ebanaghelyo ang mahalin ang kapitbahay.
![Page 42: Basic Ecclesial Communities: The What, the Why and the How](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081414/54bae70b4a795905668b457f/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
At ang pagmamahal na ito ay walang
pinipili. Hindi natin pinipili kung sino ang ating magiging kapitbahay. Ika nga sa kwento ng Mabuting Samaritano, ang iyong kapitbahay ay ‘yong taong dinaraanan mo sa araw-araw. Marami marahil sa aating mga kapitbahay ngayon ang hindi natin gusting makasama, hindi natin maakasundo, mabigat an gating kalooban sa ilan – pero sinaasabi sa atin ng Diyos sa iyang mga taong yan ang dapat mong mahalin. Huwag mamili ng mamahalin.
![Page 43: Basic Ecclesial Communities: The What, the Why and the How](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081414/54bae70b4a795905668b457f/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Ito ang malaking kaibahan ng isang MKK o isa lamang grupo. Sa isang grupo – haslimbawa, couples, youth, o mothers’ group o maski na anong club, pili ang mga sumasali roon.Halimbawa, ang sasama lamang sa couple’s group ay yaong mga mag-asawa, o sa isang mothers’ group ay mga nanay, o isang club ay lahat ng mga qualified na sumali sa club na iyon. Pero sa isang MKK, ang qualification mo lang ay isa kang kapitbahay. Walang pinipili.
![Page 44: Basic Ecclesial Communities: The What, the Why and the How](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081414/54bae70b4a795905668b457f/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Ang MKK ay nasa kapitbhayan dahil
ang ating mga kapitbahay ang siya nating kasama sa buhay: kapibahay, kapitbahay. Kung araw-araw na buhay ang pag-uusapan, kapitbahayan ang gusto nating puntiryahin. Kung tinatawagan tayo ng Diyos na sumunod sa kanya sa araw-araw, kapitbahayan ang may pinakamalaking potensyal dito dahil dito tayo nakatira at nabubuhay sa araw-araw.
![Page 45: Basic Ecclesial Communities: The What, the Why and the How](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081414/54bae70b4a795905668b457f/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Ang MKK ay nasa kapitbahayan dahil sa pamamagitan ng pagpopokus sa kapitbahayan, nabibigyan ng pokus ang mga problema o isyu sa ating paligid, sa ating komunidad.
Kadalasan, ang mga catholic associations o iba pang religious organizations ay nakapokus lamang sa kanilang grupo o kung minsa’y sa service o apostolate na ginagawa ng kanilang grupo. Sa pamamagitan ng MKK, nabibigyan ng pokus ang mga problema o isyu sda kapitbahayan, lalo na ang mga social, political, economic o ecological issues.
![Page 46: Basic Ecclesial Communities: The What, the Why and the How](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081414/54bae70b4a795905668b457f/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Ano ang magagawa ng pagninilay sa Salita ng
Diyos at pagdiriwang ng Eukaristiya ng mga magkapitbahay?
Ikalawang Tanda: Nakaugat sa Salita ng Diyos at
Eukaristiya
![Page 47: Basic Ecclesial Communities: The What, the Why and the How](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081414/54bae70b4a795905668b457f/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Nagkakaroon ng bigkis ng pagkakaisa ang
mga magkapitbahay. Gayung iba-iba silang tao, iba-iba ang kanilang pinanggalingan, iba-iba ang kanilang karanasan – ang Salita at Eyukaristiya ang magbubuklod sa akanila.
Sa pamamagitan ng pagbabahaginan nila, mas nakikilala nila ang Diyos, mas nakakasalamuha nila ang Diyos, mas napagninilayan nila kung ano ang kanilang pananampalataya at ano ang hinihiling nito upang mas maging matapat sa pagsunod sa Diyos sa pang-araw-araw na buhay.
![Page 48: Basic Ecclesial Communities: The What, the Why and the How](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081414/54bae70b4a795905668b457f/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Sa pamamagitan ng
pagbabahaginan, mas nakikilala nila ang isa’t isa sa mas malalim na paraan (hindi lamang sa pamamagitan ng mababaw na kwentuhan); dahil ditto napagtibay nila ang kanilang pakikitungo sa isa’t-isa; nagkakaroon sila ng suporta sa kaguluhan ng buhay.
![Page 49: Basic Ecclesial Communities: The What, the Why and the How](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081414/54bae70b4a795905668b457f/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
Sa pamamagitan ng
pagbabahaginan nila, mas lumalago sila sa kanilang pananampalataya; marahil ang binabahagi ng isa ay makapagbigay ng inspirasyon sa kanila, makapagbigay-liwanag sa kanilang mga pagdedesisyon; nagbigay hamon sa kanilang pagsunod sa Diyos sa gitna ng hatak ng mundo.
![Page 50: Basic Ecclesial Communities: The What, the Why and the How](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081414/54bae70b4a795905668b457f/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
Sa pamamagitan ng pagbabahaginan nila, nahihikayat silang maglingkod sa kapwa; napagtatanto nila na hindi nila dapat asikasuhin lamang ang kanilang sarili, bagkus tumugon sa pangangailangan ng kanilang mga kapitbahay.
![Page 51: Basic Ecclesial Communities: The What, the Why and the How](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081414/54bae70b4a795905668b457f/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
Minsan ang ating
pananampalataya ay puro salita lamang, walang kasamang gawa
Ang daming itinituro sa atin ng ating pananampalataya, pero hindi naman naisasabuhay
Ikatlong Tanda: Naglilingkod
![Page 52: Basic Ecclesial Communities: The What, the Why and the How](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081414/54bae70b4a795905668b457f/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
Pinaamoy lang natin sa ibang
tao ang ating pananampalataya, hindi naman nila ito natitikman – sa pamamagitan ng ating pang-araw-araw na buhay
Kulang tayo sa kilos, marami lang tayo dada
![Page 53: Basic Ecclesial Communities: The What, the Why and the How](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081414/54bae70b4a795905668b457f/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
Ang pananampalataya walang kasamang gawa
ay patay o walang saysay. Kadalasan an gating pananampalataya ay hindi dumadaloy sa ating paglilingkod sa kapwa. Nagkakasya na lamang tayo sa panalangin at pagsisimba
Hindi kumpleto ang ating pananampalataya kung walang pagkilos o panglilingkod. Ang MKK ay hindi MKK kung hindi ito naglilingkod sa iba, sa kapwa, sa kapitbahay.

Ang paglilingkod ay isang
dakilang tanda ng isang MKK
Anong klaseng paglilingkod mayroon sa inyong kapitbahayan?
![Page 55: Basic Ecclesial Communities: The What, the Why and the How](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081414/54bae70b4a795905668b457f/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
Anu-anong paraan makakaugnay ang MKK sa
kalakhang Simbahan?
Ikaapat na Tanda: Nakaugnay sa Kalakhang Simbahan
![Page 56: Basic Ecclesial Communities: The What, the Why and the How](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081414/54bae70b4a795905668b457f/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
Unang-una, ang Eukaristiya ang
nagbibigkis sa ating lahat na mga Kristiyano. Gayung maaring magkaroon ng misa sa mga MKK kapag may okasyon, ang pagdiriwang pa rin ng Banal na Eyukaristiya sa sentro ang siyang dakilang tanda n gating pagkakaisa bilang mga Kristiyano
Ikalawa, ang mga MKK leaders ay kasapi ng PPC at mga komunidad nakaugnay sa isa’t isa
![Page 57: Basic Ecclesial Communities: The What, the Why and the How](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081414/54bae70b4a795905668b457f/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
Ang kura paroko na siyang sumasama sa kanilang mga pagpupulong at siyang nagbibigay sa kanila ng training at seminars ang siyang nakikitang tanda ng ugnayan ng mga MKK sa parokya at sa diyosesis
Ang pagkilos at misyon ng mga MKK ang siya ring misyon ng kalakhang simbahan: ang itaguyod ang paghahari ng katarungan at pag-ibig ng Diyos ditto sa ating mundo. Ang iisang misyon na ito ang isa ring dakilang tanda ng pagkakaugnay ng mga MKK sa kalakhang simbahan

WHY ORGANIZE?
1. Organizing is an effective strategy to build up people’s capabilities towards elf-determination and self-reliance
2. Direct response to overcome powerlessness, exploitative and oppressive relations
3. Genuine developmental change in the life of the poor and needy
![Page 74: Basic Ecclesial Communities: The What, the Why and the How](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081414/54bae70b4a795905668b457f/html5/thumbnails/74.jpg)
4. Our creative response to become life-giving
parish: - empowerment of people - solidarity - maximum participation - development of leadership potentials - self-reliance/self-sustenance
![Page 75: Basic Ecclesial Communities: The What, the Why and the How](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081414/54bae70b4a795905668b457f/html5/thumbnails/75.jpg)
STANDPOINTS
1. Respect for the dignity and innate potentials of the poor
2. Realistic recognition of the situation of the people
3. Facilitative and supportive role of the LGUs and NGOs
4. Active participation of the poor in the total development process
![Page 76: Basic Ecclesial Communities: The What, the Why and the How](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081414/54bae70b4a795905668b457f/html5/thumbnails/76.jpg)
B. THE ORGANIZING PROCESS
BASIC Assumptions in Organizing: 1. The unorganized poor do not participate
actively in societal decisions affecting their lives because they are powerless.
The powerlessness is reinforced by their perceptions of themselves as helpless individuals in the face of forces mostly beyond their control
![Page 77: Basic Ecclesial Communities: The What, the Why and the How](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081414/54bae70b4a795905668b457f/html5/thumbnails/77.jpg)
2. When the poor bond together, and as a
group confront their own problems, their collective force can tilt the imbalance between the weak and strong groups and allow interaction on an equal basis.
![Page 78: Basic Ecclesial Communities: The What, the Why and the How](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081414/54bae70b4a795905668b457f/html5/thumbnails/78.jpg)
3. Critical awareness is crucial to genuine
people’s participation towards total human development
4. Actual participation in group mobilization develops a sense of power and unity among the poor. The process itself generates a sense of control, pride and dignity as people, and self-reliance
![Page 79: Basic Ecclesial Communities: The What, the Why and the How](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081414/54bae70b4a795905668b457f/html5/thumbnails/79.jpg)
MAJOR COMPONENTS OF ORGANIZING
1. TRAINING & EDUCATION A continuing process of action-reflection
and skills formation to critically analyze existing conditions and collectively change and improve it.
![Page 80: Basic Ecclesial Communities: The What, the Why and the How](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081414/54bae70b4a795905668b457f/html5/thumbnails/80.jpg)
2. ORGANIZING BUILDING Developing mechanisms and structures
for organizations to function effectively on a sustained basis in the context of collective leadership, democratic participation and organized action; and eventually for expanding and strengthening the organization
![Page 81: Basic Ecclesial Communities: The What, the Why and the How](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081414/54bae70b4a795905668b457f/html5/thumbnails/81.jpg)
3. MOBILIZATION Sustaining group action as well as
maximum use of accessible resources to respond to immediate and long-term needs. The people’s participation is important in all phases of the activities
![Page 82: Basic Ecclesial Communities: The What, the Why and the How](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081414/54bae70b4a795905668b457f/html5/thumbnails/82.jpg)
THE GUIDING PRINCIPLES APPLIED TO ORGANIZING WORK
1. Start with the people’s needs, resources and capabilities
2. Trust people in their capacity to change and develop
3. Respond to current people’s needs and interests
4. Encourage collective decision-making and action so they can identify with their activity
![Page 83: Basic Ecclesial Communities: The What, the Why and the How](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081414/54bae70b4a795905668b457f/html5/thumbnails/83.jpg)
5. Aim at small action to start with, leading to
small victories6. Group mobilization and projects must aim not
only for concrete solutions to specific problems but also with a vision of empowering and strengthening the organization
7. Organizing must provide opportunities for mutual assistance and common action through which individual members may achieve their own self-fulfillment as well as group welfare, not one above the other
![Page 84: Basic Ecclesial Communities: The What, the Why and the How](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081414/54bae70b4a795905668b457f/html5/thumbnails/84.jpg)
8. A process of action-reflection is utilized in
preparation for higher forms of collective action
9. If handled properly, confrontation and conflicts are venues for growth and learning for the organization
10. Establish linkages and form alliances with similar organizations and other groups for cooperation and mutual support
![Page 85: Basic Ecclesial Communities: The What, the Why and the How](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081414/54bae70b4a795905668b457f/html5/thumbnails/85.jpg)

Approach
Two approaches used in organizing BECs due to the two types of communities in the parish: 1) open villages or informal areas and 2) Gated villages
In the open villages we organized first the Kawan (90 –180 families) through organizing a Core Group of leaders in every identified area before we go to the Mumunting Kapitbahayang Kristiyano (MKK) organizing.
![Page 92: Basic Ecclesial Communities: The What, the Why and the How](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081414/54bae70b4a795905668b457f/html5/thumbnails/92.jpg)
In the gated villages, however, we proceed immediately to the organizing of MKKs (15-20 families) because private subdivisions are already organized under the leadership of the Board.
We call the small community “Kawan” which means flock. It is more biblical and pastoral. It is composed of either one or two streets; average Kawan members range from 90-180 families. Note: the Kawans are still big. In a Kawan, there are several MKKs (Mumunting Kapitbahayang Kristiyano).
![Page 93: Basic Ecclesial Communities: The What, the Why and the How](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081414/54bae70b4a795905668b457f/html5/thumbnails/93.jpg)

VI. Clustering of Kawans
1. Six (6) Bec Clusters were organized led and managed by a Coordinating Council
2. Bec Cluster Coordinator becomes automatic member of the Parish Pastoral Council
3. Link up with some NGOs, Foundations, Barangay and government agencies
![Page 102: Basic Ecclesial Communities: The What, the Why and the How](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081414/54bae70b4a795905668b457f/html5/thumbnails/102.jpg)
There are four levels of organizing: 1) MKK, 2) Kawan, 3) Cluster, and 4) Parish
MKK – headed by Punong Alagad, Ikalawang Alagad & Secretary
Kawan – led by Kawan Pastoral Circle (KPC) : 1. Coordinator 1. Worship Head 2. Assistant Coordinator 2. Education Head 3. Secretary 3. SSDM Head 4. Treasurer 4. Family Life Head 5. Auditor 5. Youth Head 6. Public Affairs Head 7. General Services Head
![Page 103: Basic Ecclesial Communities: The What, the Why and the How](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081414/54bae70b4a795905668b457f/html5/thumbnails/103.jpg)
DIFFICULTIES:1. Renewing the parish through BEC is a decision that the
parish priest has to make. His time and resources must be poured in. My first difficulty is time and necessary funds, and of course hard work.
2. Next is the immersion aspect of the program. I need to be frequent in the areas to be affected by the different situations of people. I also need a lot of listening in order to know them and be evangelized by them.
![Page 104: Basic Ecclesial Communities: The What, the Why and the How](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081414/54bae70b4a795905668b457f/html5/thumbnails/104.jpg)
DIFFICULTIES:3. Developing leaders is a patient undertaking. It is a
“trial and error” in building a team.4. Facilitating the paradigm shift on the part of the
traditional church leaders and organizations is also very difficult and painstaking
5. Maintaining around six hundred (600) leaders needs a reliable formation program and financial resources.
![Page 105: Basic Ecclesial Communities: The What, the Why and the How](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081414/54bae70b4a795905668b457f/html5/thumbnails/105.jpg)
IMPACT:1. The creation of Kawans facilitated wider participation of more
people in the life of the parish: more new leaders from the base and more attendance to the liturgical celebrations.
2. The environment is gradually changing especially at the base; neighbors begin to know more each other and help each other. People are more generous and participative now
3. Increase in quality formation programs and concrete social services for the poor.
4. Bridges little by little the gaps among leaders, between gated and open villages.
![Page 106: Basic Ecclesial Communities: The What, the Why and the How](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081414/54bae70b4a795905668b457f/html5/thumbnails/106.jpg)
4. Structures for decision-making that make laypeople become the ultimate change agents are in place. The communities at the base begin to decide by themselves and not just wait for something from the Center.
6. Increase sense of parish and belongingness.
7. Begin to put their faith into action.
8. Self-reliance – gradual realization of “this is our church, we have to support it”
![Page 107: Basic Ecclesial Communities: The What, the Why and the How](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081414/54bae70b4a795905668b457f/html5/thumbnails/107.jpg)
III. CONCLUSION
BEC provides DIRECTION to the Parish; it sets direction to all church ministries, programs and organizations and movements
“Small Christian Communities where personal exchanges and the practice fraternal love and solidarity can be more easily achieved, open vast opportunities for creativity in the ministry” (John Paul II, 1981)
![Page 108: Basic Ecclesial Communities: The What, the Why and the How](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081414/54bae70b4a795905668b457f/html5/thumbnails/108.jpg)
BEC has “environmental” technology.
BEC does not only empower the individual but also the community
“Traditional method tends to hammer on individual activities and group projects. In fact, many parishes suffer from an avalance of tasks and action points but the total environment of the parish hardly changes.”

BEC seeks to change the environment in the
neighborhood. This is through extensive organizing of small units whose members are assisted to confront their situation and to respond to it by using their own resources
If the parish undergoes a process of structuring where the lay at the base are responsible in deciding on matters that directly affect their lives, the whole environment of the parish changes. They are now in position to shape the quality of their environment.

BEC concretizes participative leadership
that promotes maximum participation and meaningful involvement of everyone.
BEC is the “hope of the universal church and society.”

Challenges
PCP II gave the direction to the local churches towards the need for authentic renewal.
“A community of disciples, united in their diverse charisms and ministries, a Church of the poor, a Church that lives the faith and works for the transformation of society.”

We need the Church that responds to the
“signs of the times”
We need the Church that becomes the “leaven” or “yeast” for the transformation of life and society.

Challenges
How sad, how frustrating, how exasperating that the language of Vatican II and PCP II is used in church circles BUT the structures of old, traditional ways of ministering, of governing, of participating and of evangelizing have not changed very much.
There is really a great challenge for us, as an individual and as a church.
