 \nClearly,our age is the age of a renewed understanding of theChurch.Thus if we seek to examine evangelical poverty we mustdo so in relation to ecclesiology.This is a new approach to poverty,for much of our former writing on evangelical poverty consideredit from the point of view of a relationship between the individualand God.This was good.Now,however,we must also delve moredeeply into an understanding of poverty as a communal sign.TheConciliar Fathers have asked for such a study.Culturing of theground between ecclesiology and the religious vow of povertypromises great fruit.Thus,while this article makes little directmention of the vow of poverty,it will be evident that the vowof poverty is but a visible sign of the individual's pledge towitness to the true nature of the communal body of Christ,theChurch.  \n# CURRENT EXAMINATION OF ECCLESIAL POVERTY\n\nThe Constitution on the Church summarizes the attitudetoward evangelical poverty thus:\"Just as Christ carried out thework of redemption in poverty,so the Church is called to followthe same route that it might communicate the fruits of salvationto men\"(chap.1,par.8).This but reaffirms the statement ofPope John XXIII at the opening session of Vatican II:“Confrontedby the under-developed countries,the Church presents herself asshe is and wants to be:the Church of all men,and in particularthe Church of the poor.\"Vatican I has stressed the need forre-evaluation of the Church as servant of the poor.GiacomoCardinal Lercaro called this re-evaluation the central theme of theCouncil:  \nWe shall not meet the truest and deepest demands of our time,we shall not answer the hope of unity shared by all Christians,if we do no more than make the preaching of the Gospel tothe poor one of the many themes of the Council.In fact it isnot a theme;it is in some measure the theme of the Council.If...it is true to say that the aim of this Council is to bringthe Church into closer conformity with the truth of the Gospeland to fit her better to meet the problems of our day,we cansay that the central theme of this Council is the Church preciselyinsofar as she is the Church of the Poor.  \nJoseph Cardinal Frings advocated episcopal conferences to relievethe needy,in the hope that\"the Church(may)appe","cbCaibHUk0qzC7w6","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaibHUk0qzC7w6","pdf",1668096,44,"English","# Ecclesial Poverty as the Basis of Vowed Poverty\n# Current Examination of Ecclesial Poverty\n# Poverty and the Church as People of God\n## (Poem)\n## The Common Meal: A Time to Read?\n## Book Reviews","[{\"question\":\"Why does the issue treat evangelical poverty in relation to ecclesiology?\",\"answer\":\"It argues that examining poverty requires understanding it as a communal sign within the mystery of the Church, not only as an individual relationship with God.
