After years of watching cultural trends in the U.S. Catholic Church and the nation overall, Bishop Louis F. Kihneman III of Biloxi, Miss., came to a stark realization. To survive and flourish in an increasingly secular climate, he said, the church needs to completely change the way it does things, moving from what Bishop Kihneman calls a “culture of maintenance to one of mission.” A new evangelization initiative launched earlier this year in the Biloxi Diocese aims to transform Catholic life in southern Mississippi along these lines.
