Roles and Relationships
The baptized live out their calling by serving their neighbors in their arenas of daily life. For example, in the family the baptized serve as ministers to their neighbors as a son/daughter, sister/brother, or parent. In the workplace or in school, the baptized serve neighbors in the particular stations held in those arenas. In the local community, the baptized offer ministry, for example, through volunteer work, caring for creation, or by participating in the political process. The baptized offer ministry globally, for example, through relationships of accompaniment, generosity in sharing, and social advocacy.
