| Abstract | At Vatican Council II the Catholic Church defined its mission in terms of three activities, proclamation, solidarity and dialogue. Solidarity and dialogue are here conceived not simply as humanistic endeavours, but as redemptive activities, expressions of faith, hope and love. At this time, the Church already recognizes certain spaces where her divine mission does not include proclamation to outsiders, but simply consists of solidarity and dialogue, for instance the pastoral ministry in hospitals and prisons and, on the global level, the World Conference on Religion and Peace. The article argues that the great religions in Asia are also spaces where the Church's mission simply consists of solidarity and dialogue. |
