THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE YOUTH FOR ASSUMING AND CONFESSING THE CHRISTIAN IDENTITY IN THE CONTEXT OF SECULARISATION CHALLENGES

This paper tries to emphasize the importance and the responsibility of the Youth for assuming and confessing the Christian identity in the context of the challenges of secularization and globalisation. In our world characterized by pluralism and multiculturalism we have to realize the importance ofinterpersonal relationship in the perspective of communication and communion. Dialogue plays a fundamental role in the era of communication. Dialogue means confession. In the mentioned context, dialogue can be understood also as a Christian confession. In the context of the year 2016, declared in the Romanian Patriarchate as Solemn year of Religious Education of the Christian Orthodox Youth, is useful to analyze some aspects regarding the beauty of youthfulness and the sanctity of life.
