Summary/Abstract: The complexity of today's world reflects the theological, missionary and pastoral challenges facing the Church of Christ. The missionary exercise is a fundamental essence of the Church, which has the vocation to be in the world as the depository and preacher of the Truth revealed in the Gospel. In the context of 2024, in which religious diversity coexists with secularization and religious indifferentism, the Church's mission must remain faithful to its identity tradition while adapting its strategies to effectively articulate its witness to Christ, the risen Son of God. The article aims to explore the dimensions of religious syncretism from a missionary perspective.
