evangelization

/ɪvˌændʒɪlᵻzˈeɪʃən/ noun

The act of evangelizing; the state of being evangelized.

Word Origin Evangelization is built from Greek eu 'good' and angelos 'messenger'—literally 'bringing good news'. The same angelos gives us angel, and eu appears in eulogy (good speech), euphoria (good feeling), and euphemism (good speaking). So evangelization is the act of spreading good tidings.
