The Church, hierarchy, clerics - the evangelizers - are not really participants or partners in a "dialogue". Considering themselves as such, whether threatened, abandoned, losing members, relevant or irrelevant, etc., as if it is an "I/thou" conversation is maybe giving themselves too much credit?
The church decreasingly rates as participant. They are similarly diminishing as even a subject of conversation within "dialoguers".
Maybe instead of trying to convert, convince, the real evangelization is to "back-off" ideas of "restoration" and begin to earn a relevance as a prelude to something. Whatever the ''something" might be. Become relevant as a subject; merit a seat at the table.
