Summary/Abstract: This article aims to explore the place of the Christians in society, especially regarding their involvement in the debates about the status of the unborn child. The paper assesses two opposing ways of understanding the Christian life – one of them being that of focusing only on the inner life and repenting for the personal sins, and the other one being that of active involvement in social issues, without counting the progress in personal life. It is argued that the best way is the middle one, the way of equilibrium, which appeals to discernment and which unites the spiritual inner life with social participation, particularly on the problem of denying the unborn child’s dignity from our society.
