The second sentence confirms this emotional response because it opens with the word ‘cold’: ‘cold for all the summer beyond the panes, for all the tropical heat of the room itself’. So already two pieces of information – enormous and north facing – actually create in the reader an emotional response: we raise our shoulders and shiver slightly as we enter into the room and the paragraph that describes it. As we all know from buying houses, north facing rooms are not coveted – they get little sunlight. It’s ‘enormous’, it’s on the ‘ground floor’ and it faces north. Thus, it ends with two observations: first, that with EG, Ad Gentes’ statement that “the Church is missionary by her very nature” ceases to be merely a theological declaration and now becomes a concrete pastoral program of action and second, that EG, where the concerns of the third world are allowed to shape the vision of the universal church, is an eloquent manifestation of the church becoming a World Church.What do we learn about this room? The first sentence gives us three pieces of information: size, location and aspect. concludes by showing that Pope Francis’ vision of the church in EG echoes Vatican II's decree Ad Gentes and is shaped by his experience of the church in Latin America. He envisions the church as fundamentally a missionary church and sees the role of his pontificate as bringing about the transformation of the church into a missionary church. The article provides a summary and synthesis of the Introduction and Chapter One of Evangelii Gaudium (EG 1–18 and 19–49), where Pope Francis outlines his vision of the church and the program of his pontificate.
