BUEKER, MARKUS. LIFE GOES ON. EMERGENCY, BREAKDOWN, AND OTHER DIRECTIONS FOR THE MISSION AFTER PUEBLA. Theol. Xave. [online]. 2010, vol.60, n.169, pp.47-80. ISSN 0120-3649.

Since the 5^th General Conference of the Latin American Episcopate, which took place in Aparecida, Brazil (May 2007), the bishops from Latin America and the Caribbean promoted a continental mission. Thirty years ago, in the 3^rd Conference, in Puebla, Mexico (1979), a concept for the mission was elaborated: "Liberating Evangelization", based on the "option for the poor", developed during the 2^nd General Conference in Medellín, Colombia (1968), and also based on Paul VI's exhortation Evangelii nuntiandi. Both expressions, common to the Liberation Theology, have meant -in practice- persecutions from diverse powers, even ecclesial ones. Which is, then, the relevance of Puebla's liberating evangelization for the Christian task in the current continental mission?.
