Summary/Abstract: Christianity has contributed profoundly to the spiritual and cultural identity of Europe. Like in the past also today, as Christians we are appointed to bear meaningful testimony to our Christian inherence in Europe and to head for its renovation and reconstruction. Also in theology which has made a significant contribution to shape European identity, we have to ask about the Europe of tomorrow and show Christians how to participate in the process of shaping it so that it could face the challenges of tomorrow. What then shall we do in the future Europe? Where shall we find our place in it? What is our European vocation? Here we focus on the following tasks which Christians have to fulfill: the shaping of a positive vision of man, metaphysical vocation of the mind, rediscovering of the values which shaped Europe throughout the centuries, reestablishing of the principle of universalism, active participation in the history of the world and the defense of the humanism strictly connected with faith.
