Individualisation and pluralisation challenge us. The book focuses on the consequences for the Church's pastoral care and the identity of religious orders in (post)secular society. The world is not an opponent from which the Church and religious orders – and inevitable theology as well – should isolate themselves. Rather, it is necessary to take the reality with all its challenges serious, to pick up on incarnational thought and to understand the world, as it portrays itself, as God's creation.
