Citizenship, migration and religion: an ethical dialogue based on the Christian faith

Migration is undoubtedly one of the most obvious and urgent realities we encounter. It is true that societies are becoming increasingly multicultural. To deal with this situation, it is necessary to rethink at least three essential factors of these processes: first, to examine the models of citizenship existing up to now, as well as the institutions that supported it, all this with the aim of creating new forms of organization of relations between human beings . Secondly, to study the links between culture and ethics, with a view to considering the possibility of intercultural dialogue. Finally, the role of religions in public life.

Les migrations sont sans aucun doute l’une des réalités les plus évidentes et les plus urgentes que nous rencontrons. Il est vrai que les sociétés deviennent de plus en plus multiculturelles. Pour faire face à cette situation, il faut repenser au moins trois facteurs essentiels de ces processus : premièrement, s’interroger sur les modèles de citoyenneté existants jusqu’à présent, ainsi que sur les institutions qui le soutenaient, tout cela dans le but de créer de nouvelles formes d’organisation des relations entre les êtres humains . Deuxièmement, étudier les liens entre culture et éthique, en vue d’envisager la possibilité d’un dialogue interculturel. Enfin, le rôle des religions dans la vie publique.

Las migraciones son, sin duda, una de las realidades más patentes y acuciantes con las que nos encontramos. Es un hecho cierto que las sociedades se van haciendo más multiculturales. Afrontar esta situación supone replantear, al menos, tres factores esenciales de estos procesos: En primer lugar preguntarse por los modelos de ciudadanía existentes hasta ahora, así como las instituciones que lo sustentaban, todo ello con la finalidad de crear nuevas formas de organizar las relaciones entre los seres humanos . En segundo lugar estudiar las conexiones entre cultura y ética, de cara a plantear la posibilidad de un diálogo intercultural. Por último, el papel de las religiones en la vida pública.
