Familia În Postmoderniate. Implicaţii Morale Şi Misionare

Abstract

To understand and to assume post-modernity represents one of the most topical and most sensitive issues for the Christian morals and mission in general, and for the Orthodox faith in particular. Denying all forms of authority under the pressure of liberal models, doubled by an increasingly visible presence of concepts derived from the evolutionist theory, existentialism or hedonism, bring the individual as well as the Church face to face with some challenges regarding moral and missionary models, which are the most appropriate for retaining and conveying the truths revealed by God. More and more voices show the way in which post-modernism falsifies man's true identity and redirects one's personal existence towards a way of life devoid of meaning and communion. In this context, the family is faced with the difficult task of retaining its mission of a "small-scale Church", with a direct reference to one's moral-religious development in and for communion.
