Wspólnota w przepowiadaniu biskupa kieleckiego
Ostrowski, Jerzy (Wydawnictwo Towarzystwa Naukowego Katolickiego Uniwersytetu Lubelskiego, 2004)
The author of the article examines the idea of community that is present in the Bishop of Kielce Kazimierz Ryczan’s preaching. The need to build a genuine community follows from the social-cultural context in which we happen to live. It is marked with social pluralism, individualization of attitudes and behaviours, the consumer’s lifestyle, and at the same time with unemployment and pauperisation of the society. All these problems do not escape the Bishop’s notice; in accordance with his motto: „in vinculo communionis" he points to difficulties, but also to hopes connected with the Polish social transformations. In his sermons he shows the idea of community in the image of home: family home, God’s home, homeland. Also the effort to build the home-community falls within the range of Christian social responsibility. This is the only way one can resist loneliness, selfishness, distrust and disintegration of the natural structures of life.
