Summary/Abstract: The article is aimed at pointing to the challenges imposed by globalisation on the societies in transition from theological perspective, and at giving guidelines for the Church activities in these countries after the fall of communism. Starting with the analysis of the communist regime and its governing structure, it emphasises the necessity for the new structures that should provide a suitable response to the demands of the process of transformation and globalisation. Defining globalisation as a technical - economic, ond also socio-cultural and ethical everlasting revolution, which today, unfortunately mostly leads tofurther deepening of the gap between the rich and the poor, the article highlights the importance of more authoritative constitution of "ethical globalisation" in the form of a new, post-modern life- culture created in the spirit of solidarity and social justice. According to the author, the Church is not entirely over these changes because it hasn't noticed the signs of time.
