This is a search for what it means to be a Christian today, living the Gospel message as a liberated and liberating human being. In pursuit of that goal three selected situations in the Catholic Church involving a mission, a man and a movement, are explored: the mission - Christian education in the Islamic Republic of Pakistan; the man - Dom Helder Camara, Archbishop of Olinda and Recife in North-east Brazil; the movement - the Catholic Pentecostal movement in the United States of America.
