No one doubts that the winds of change are blowing, and we are only beginning to perceive their power and their vastness. In this context the Church is faced with a dilemma: should she draw back defensively or should she respond to the voice of the Spirit of God as revealed in a multitude of signs? The author explores some of those signs and urges the Church toward a profound renewal so that she becomes herself a sign of hope for our world.
