Abstract(s)
A fé cristã torna-se uma questão mais de decisão do que de herança nas nossas sociedades modernas. A sua prática é fortemente condicionada pela tendência cultural para uma afirmação intensa do indivíduo espalhada nessas sociedades. O trabalho pastoral mostra como os itinerários
dos crentes podem ser diversos e irregulares. As comunidades eclesiais devem verificar a sua autenticidade. Precisam não só de aprofundar a identidade da fé cristã, mas também de estudar a tendência cultural para um uso mais independente da liberdade. De facto, a fé cristã adquire uma nova fisionomia ao encontrar-se com esta tendência: surge como um acontecimento mais
moldado pela experiência e sensibilidade do indivíduo. Prestando atenção a isto, as comunidades eclesiais estarão mais aptas a discernir os múltiplos modos como se decide crer hoje.

Its practice is strongly conditioned by the cultural tendency to an intense individual assertiveness widespread in those societies. Pastoral work shows how diverse and irregular the itineraries of Christian believers can be. Church communities must verify their authenticity. They need not only to deepen the identity of Christian faith, but also to study the cultural tendency to a more independent use of freedom. In fact, Christian faith acquires a new appearance through its encounter with this tendency: it comes out as an event more informed by the individual’s experience and sensitivity. By paying attention to this, Church communities will be more able to discern the multiple ways people decide to believe today.
