This document, written in 1959, discusses the future of Christian activity, emphasizing a shift from clergy to laity. It argues that laypeople are at the forefront of the spiritual struggle, and theology must support this transition. The 'new orientation' sees the laicization of Christianity as a foundation for ecumenical efforts. Theology is defined as a servant role, maintaining the purity of the message while its actual power stems from lived faith. The text criticizes demythologization and 'civilness' as insufficient if treated as primary goals; they are merely tools. The ultimate aim is a potent, contemporary formulation of faith. Finally, the author outlines the necessary mutual respect between theologians and laity, advocating for a non-hierarchical service-based relationship that maintains theological authority without clericalism. This text represents a pivotal moment in Czech Protestant thought, seeking to bridge the gap between abstract doctrine and the realities of modern secular life.
