Summary/Abstract: In this paper we propose to analyse the significance and the context of the term diaspora in contemporary theology. According to many theologians the diaspora-situation is the permanent condition o f the Christian Church. In Transylvanian studies about the diaspora, the accent falls on the ethnical and social meanings of the term. We inquire for an answer concerning the diaspora-situation of the Early Church and the meaning o f the diaspora in the globalised, post-Christian societies.
