Summary/Abstract: Christians, like all people, seek an answer to the question that trouble the present time. Globalisation today is an extremely important, and ambivalent, issue that calls for a moral interpretation on the part of the Church. The phenomena of globalisation cannot be stopped or even reduce. If, however, globalization is ambivalent for the Christian, it is important to critically analyse its effects, recognize its accomplishments, and notice its threats. Approving of the positive aspects of globalization, Christians should find some forms of involvement in it. The main mission of the Church at the moment is new evanglisation, its important part being the preaching of the Church’s social doctrine. If man is to be saved where he lives, one should be engaged in the forms of preaching and acting which serve the dignity of the human person and human rights, the common good, and interpersonal solidarity.
