Zaufanie jako podstawa dialogu świeckich i duchownych w Kościele. Perspektywa seminarium duchownego
Okońska, Elżbieta (Prymasowski Instytut Kultury Chrześcijańskiej im. Stefana Kard. Wyszyńskiego, 2008)
Proper cooperation between the clergy and the laity facilitates the implementation of difficult apostolic and pastoral tasks in the contemporary Church. Therefore, clerical-secular relationships require dialogue as the most mature communicative category and the most complete form of interpersonal contacts. This dialogue is founded on confidence. If I place my confidence in somebody, I entrust them with my hopes and simultaneously put myself at their disposal. Confidence not only plays an important role for close relations but also applies to large communities such as the Church. In view of the decreased social trust in the Church indicated by opinion polls, a need arises to create the culture of confidence towards the Church and its representatives. Both the seminary itself and the clerical-secular dialogue in seminary formation should be perceived as an opportunity to foster a real culture of confidence.
