CHRISTIAN MISSION AND HUMAN RESPONSIBILITY: THE DIMENSIONS OF DIAKONIA IN THE DOCUMENTS „DIAKONIA IN CONTEXT: TRANSFORMATION, RECONCILIATION, EMPOWERMENT” AND „CALLED TO TRANSFORMATION. ECUMENICAL DIAKONIA”

Summary/Abstract: Diaconate is an essential component in the mission of the Church in today's world, as it has been in the past. The concept of diaconate has evolved in recent decades, particularly within the ecumenical movement, to a degree that can be characterized as a paradigm shift, proposing a new horizon of the meaning of diaconate: ecumenical diaconate. Diaconate is a theological concept that indicates the very identity and mission of the Church, a fact underscored in documents that have explored the meanings of diaconate: “Diakonia in Context: Transformation, Reconciliation, Empowerment” (2009) and “Called to Transformation. Ecumenical Diakonia” (2022).
