This letter presents the objectives and reflections during The World Consultation at Rocca Di Papa, where the author announces that while the Instrumentum Laboris was present in the discussions as a reference point, the major concern was to relate the experiences and the consultations of the participants in their countries over the last three years to an overall theme we (they) all felt to be vital for the Synod and its aims, namely: "A new evangelization for the building of a new society". There were three sub-themes of discussion: 1) Enacting the mission of the Church by participating in the dynamism of history; 2) Presence in the world while seeking the kingdom; 3) Vocation and mission of the laity - apostolic dynamism and personal relationship with God.
