Intercultural Pastoral Care in the context of migration in the local church

The transition we live in different local churches must respond to the pastoral challenge of knowing how to articulate the "local" with the "global". An important contribution can be given by the presence of immigrants, especially Christians, who numerically increased in the territory. Faced with this "Kairos" the pastoral dynamics of the Church are not well prepared to live this inevitable transition from a faith expressed in a monocultural way to a faith expressed in an intercultural way. We are called to express the "catholicity" of faith through a pastoral practice different from that one experienced earlier, in which the pastoral agents committed to the announce are also Christians from other continents.
