This dissertation is an investigation and proposal about the missionary practice of the Christian church with a view to the social change in a pluralist world. The first chapter approaches the communicative dimension of the action according to Jürgen Habermas, analyzing how the collective actions are coordinate in society and how the ethics and cultures influence the social actions, especially the missionary action. It investigates the missionary practice in society focusing to its objective and action method. It asks by the relation between gospel and culture and about the possibility of the meeting with the religions in the world. This chapter finishes wondering how to communicate the gospel in Latin America and the guides to a missionary practice starting from the dialogue, having as a reference the trinity action of God. The second chapter, evaluates the consequences of adopting a missionary model based on debates and consensus. It basis the mission as move towards the other and rescues the social responsibility from solidarity, love and compassion. It describes this practice in terms of weakness and vulnerability, opposite to the previous models that relied on expansionist designs of faith. This chapter draws on the theoretical contribution of the philosopher Gianni Vattimo and debole your idea of thinking that leads to the question of how to act from weakness. The ultimate example of own weakness as a form to interact with the world is analyzed, theologically, from the incarnation of the Son of God (kenosis). The last chapter discusses about haw the mission can contributes to people, cultures and societies´ transformation. It meets in the diakonia the basis to communicate acting. To serve allows to the Christian community practice in gospel familiarity that preaches with the correct motivation. There is a rediscovery of the personal and social ethics and transforming diakonia as a parameter to a measure the coherency between the proposal of God s kingdom announced in the gospel and what is experienced in Christian communities. The participation of the church in the world is not of passivity nor contemplation. It has a prophetic voice and its action aims to transform people, institutions, social and power structures to the hopeful proclamation of the kingdom and by the incarnational familiarity of this gospel. The research seeks a new mark for the missionary practice in a world of constant transformations. It finishes suggesting a missionary model starting from the transforming diakonia and of a missionary and communication action theology, pointing to the opportunities that are presented with a new missionary methodology.
