Suvremene migracije su fenomen od iznimne važnosti za veliku većinu modernih društava. Uslijed velikog broja migranata, nedovoljnog angažmana oko čimbenika koji generiraju migracije iz nerazvijenih zemalja te čestih primjera neuspjeha integracije u zapadnim zemljama, učestala je percepcija kako migracije predstavljaju prijetnju i dugoročnu opasnost za imigracijska društva. Kršćanski svjetonazor ipak uvjetuje drukčiju procjenu tog fenomena, kojem pristupa polazeći od temeljnog postulata neotuđivog dostojanstva svake ljudske osobe. Budući da je isti postulat usađen u temelje pravnih sustava demokratskih zemalja, kršćanstvo ima važnu zadaću pomoći ponovno etablirati civilizacijske vrednote koje su u zapadnim zemljama dovedene u krizu postupanjima prema neželjenim migrantima. Posebno to vrijedi za hrvatski kontekst, u kojem zamjećujemo niz aspekata u kojima bi Crkva mogla pomoći državi i građanima svladati konfuznost i apatiju. Osim društvu, time važnu uslugu čini i sebi jer se etablira kao nositeljica društvenih vrednota i promulgira svoj evangelizacijski kapital. Vjera koja nije svedena na tradicionalnu samorazumljivost ne može pobjeći od zauzetosti oko migranata, a ne može tu zauzetost svesti ni na puki humanitarizam. Fenomen suvremenih migracija, dakle, predstavlja velik izazov, ali i veliku, jedinstvenu i povijesnu priliku. Contemporary migrations are a phenomenon of exceptional importance for the vast majority of modern societies. Due to the high number of migrants, insufficient engagement with the factors that generate migration from underdeveloped countries, and frequent examples of failure of integration in Western countries, there is a common perception that migration represents a threat and a long-term danger for immigration societies. The Christian worldview, however, conditions a different assessment of this phenomenon, which it approaches starting from the fundamental postulate of the inalienable dignity of every human person. Given that the same postulate is embedded in the foundations of the legal systems of democratic countries, Christianity has the important task of helping to re-establish civilizational values that have been driven to a crisis in Western countries by the treatment of unwanted migrants. This is par ticularly true for the Croatian context, where we see a number of aspects in which the Church could help the state and citizens overcome confusion and apathy. In addition to this service to the society, it also does an important service to herself, as it establishes herself as a bearer of social values and promulgates its evangelical capital. A faith that is not reduced to traditional self-understanding cannot escape the concern towards migrants, and it cannot reduce this concern to mere humanitarianism either. The phenomenon of contemporary migration therefore represents both a great challenge, as well as a great, unique and historic opportunity.
