            cohesive means to present the Gospel. This absence hinders the
            Church's ability to convey the core message of the faith, which is
            crucial for its evangelization efforts. The Gospel must not only be
            embraced but also communicated in a way that resonates with and
            inspires others, making a comprehensive guide essential for the
            Church's mission. Without it, the foundation of the Church's
            outreach is compromised, as it struggles to articulate the faith in a
            manner that is both meaningful and accessible to the world.

            I sense that the moment has come to commit all of the Church’s
            energies to a new evangelization… No believer in Christ, no
            institution of the Church can avoid this supreme duty: to proclaim
            Christ to all peoples. ~ Pope John Paul II

                   In the aftermath of the Reformation, which divided
            Christianity 500 years ago, the BFG Handbook seeks to unite us
            under a single voice, restoring the truth for the New Evangelization.
            It serves as a vital tool for clarifying the Gospel in our contemporary
            world, particularly in light of recent global events. By presenting
            shared universal truths, the Handbook aims to forge new bridges
            between different churches and faiths, fostering meaningful
            dialogue that emphasizes common principles over political or
            religious divisions.

                   It is essential for the Church to recognize the importance
            of proclaiming the Gospel through the foundational principles
            presented in this BFG Handbook. Together, we can share the truth
            that will set us free.
