Historyczny przełom w Europie Wschodniej jako wyzwanie dla Kościoła

Abstract

In accord with the mystery of Incarnation Christianity is admittedly a religion “not from this world”, yet “for this world” That is why the politico-spiritual process of changes linked with “The Autumn of the Peoples” of 1989 is to a large extent a fruit of the church's contribution to the work of the European breakthrough. Tire new situation, brought about by this fact, poses new tasks to Christianity. In order to responsibly take them up and effectively fulfil the Church should engage herself in a certain kind of “integral ecumenia”. Searching after unity is meant here which comes from innerchurch unity embraces and introduces within its circle the socio-political and interreligious reality. The purpose is always the care for the whole man for his integrally understood redemption.
