Summary/Abstract: Being given the most accentuated secularization of the old christian world, the Church’s missionary activity receives a new understanding comparing to the earlier times. Nowadays the missionarism doesn’t reffer anymore only to the evangelization, the preaching of the Lord’ s words in new cultural spaces, but it also reffers to the old christian comunities, where the biblical message and the christian way of life becomes more and more occasional rather than personal. This is why we need to rediscover not only the importance of the doctrine of faith but also to find the way of improving and adapting the theological discourse to a seularized world, proving that the cconnection between missionarism and a personal christian life is of maximum interest for this new situation. In this theological study we also try to emphasize the danger of disconnecting the social activism from it’ real source of love: the person of God’s Incarnated Son, Christ the Lord.
