0:00.0	Welcome back to the Word on Fire Show. I'm Brandon Vaat, the senior publishing director.
0:11.3	Today we share with you a talk Bishop Aaron gave earlier this year to Catholic educators
0:16.3	in the Archdiocese of Vancouver. The talk was titled Evangelizing is Priority 1.
0:23.0	The whole talk focuses on the idea that we must share the gospel. We must proclaim the resurrection
0:29.2	and lordship of Jesus and that every Catholic educator is fundamentally an evangelizer.
0:36.3	If you're a Catholic teacher, a principal administrator, if you work in religious education at
0:42.1	parishes, I really think you're going to get a lot out of this talk. And if that doesn't describe

1:46.8	I can make my way back to see you. But at least now virtually, I can be with you.
1:51.7	You know, everybody, I've spoken a lot and written a lot about themes that are of interest,

2:04.5	the so-called nuns, the N-O-N-E-S. Reasons why young people are leaving the church. I've written
