Summary/Abstract: The crisis of the Church and its relative issue of renewal is a recurring subject. The contemporary world and society demand a justification for the Church’s presence in all the aspects of life. The German theologian, in undertaking a reflection on these issues does so in an orderly, creative and positive way. The author of this article bases his analysis of the thought of W. Kasper on two sources: Die Kirche Jesu Christi. Schriften zur Ekklesiologie I, as well as The Catholic Church. Essence, Reality, Commission. In presenting this article, the author draws from the texts of the Theologian from Tubingen in presenting a description of the contemporary society and the world, in which the Church finds itself. Then, the author discusses five courses the future Church can take in order to be: (1) resolute, (2) open, (3) accountable, (4) ecumenical, and (5) socially engaged.
