Description
Summary:The Second Vatican Council binds the theological understanding of the church to a change of location at the side of the poor: In ist visible form, the church is referred to Jesus' concrete way of life in order to be a messianic sign of hope and an instrument of salvation. Lumen gentium 8 and 9 merge elements and concerns of different ecclesiologies in such a way that they are read and restructured from the messianic event, from Jesus of Nazareth. The defining perspectives of concern for the church and of self-as-sertion are turned upside down by the concern for others in the imitation of Christ and in the continuation of his mission to all people. Such a view of the church implies serenity with respect to the concern about one's own identity (which has already been given in Christ) - and challenges one to convert, to commit oneself and to dedicate oneself in order to create hope where a person is deprived of his or her dignity and where salvation has been called into question in concrete terms. In the context of the first two chapters of Lumen gentium the article traces this line of argumentation, remaining close to the wording of these texts
