Abstract

This study is a pastoral and theological text. It presents the concept of Christianity and Christian identity, according to John Baptist Metz. The article is divided into three main parts. After a short presentation of the German theologian, the first part discusses the necessity of de-privatization of religion, which is necessary in order that the experience of the world would become the experience of believers. The second part is a challenge to combine contemplatio with actio. Consequently, the third part presents the Christian identity as an actio, warning against the private, passive, and bourgeois religion.
