Der als Sakularismus beschriebene lebensweltlich veranderte Bezugsrahmen der Spatmoderne stellt eine groe Herausforderung fur die Anschlussfahigkeit traditioneller Lehr-und Glaubensuberlieferung dar und bildet den gemeinsamen Horizont von Christentum wie auch des japanischen Shin-Buddhismus Jōdo-Shinshū ("Wahre Schule des Reinen Landes"). Diese Herausforderung verlangt nach Antworten und generiert Transformationsprozesse.
