- Abstract
The etymological analysis of the word "layman" opens several possibilities for the understanding of the Christian's role within the Church and the efforts made in the last decades for create a theology of the laity. The usage of word "layman" throughout history, inside and outside the Christian ambience, displays a rich ambiguity. Besides the aid of etymology, it can be noted that the lay Christian finds in a pluralistic society the opportunity for the fulfillment of his vocation.
