Duszpasterstwo międzyreligijne i międzykulturowe – utopia czy szansa na przyszłość?
Interreligious and Intercultural Pastoral Care – Utopia or Chance for the Future?

Summary/Abstract: It is a derivative of the opening in the second half of the 20th century of the Churches associated in the World Council of Churches and the Roman Catholic Church to those who represent a faith other than Christian (and consequently also to their cultures), and was preceded by religious and interfaith dialogue. It was conducted between representatives of the Churches and with representatives of other religions. This type of pastoral care takes into account the realities of the ever-changing world and the increasing demands placed on the pastor by the contemporary man - often migrating from place to place, lost, overworked, terrified, looking for the meaning of life and salvation. The following study presents the development of interreligious and intercultural pastoral care (its origins in the life and work of Jesus of Nazareth), which are inspired by ethnology, psychology, and religious dialogue. It is also observation of the forms and the tools which are uses in this type of pastoral care. The author based the exemplification part of the article on facts from his own pastoral activity in the parish, thus illustrating the potential of the title pastoral ministry.
