Background: The „double commitment“ (Dialogue and Proclamation73) of the Catholic Church to dialogue and proclamation poses to Catholic believers a question of how to reconcile proclamation and dialogue, if they apparently contradict one another. The aim of this paper is to contribute to the discussion on the relation between proclamation and dialogue with the following thesis: the dialogical model of existence represents a fundamental form of mission. Furthermore, it seeks to make a case for understanding dialogue as an autonomous form of proclamation, based on the theological-anthropological interpretation of the human as being in „God’s image“. Conclusion: The thesis of the dialogical mode of existence representing a fundamental form of mission can be elaborated at the academic level with respect to further theoretical research, for instance, through discussions or reflections on the currently highly relevant inter-religious dialogue, especially between Christians and Muslim migrants. Furthermore, it can also be applied in practice with respect to the work with refugees, in the area of mission and the helping professions involved in this kind of work, because this thesis makes it clear, inter alia, that it accepts, respects, and values the life of another human being, including his or her inalienable dignity and unconditioned autonomy.
