Sažetak
In the years after the Vatican Council consciousness of the identity and the mission of lay believers emerged strongly. Starting from the historical context and the conciliar and post-conciliar doctrine on lay persons, this article reflects upon the mission of lay persons in the framework of the ecclesiology of communion. It is a kind of foundation for a proper understanding of the mission and responsibility of lay believers in the Church and in the world. With this in mind and starting from the concrete state of the world in which the Church exists, often described as “post-Christian”, the laity have a decisive role. We demonstrate this by characterizing the transmission of faith as a condition of the existence of the Church. In this context, the parish community is intended to be a privileged place in which we can find persons who re-transmit and communicate faith, in social and cultural conditions that are subject to constant change.
