Ecumenical Formation, 2023
For many decades, Christian churches have engaged in ecumenical dialogues addressing church-dividing issues and trying to overcome them. Many valuable texts have emerged from these dialogues, but they are hardly known in the churches. One reason for this is that “ecumenism” is rarely a topic in theological education. The article asks why this is so and argues for including ecumenical formation in theological studies. It highlights various initiatives that have pursued this goal and provides examples of cross-denominational theological education. Cultivating awareness and sensitivity among the younger generation of theologians towards ecumenical concerns is a precondition for promoting ecumenical encounter and applying the results of ecumenical dialogues to the life and the teaching of the churches.

Ecumenical Theological Education in the Context of World Christianity
The Ecumenical Review, 2022
Theological Education is facing a number of advances and setbacks. The globalization and transformation of Christianity, the evolution of communication tools and the striving for formal theological education by groups that customarily shunned it as well as a generalized awareness for the contextuality of theological education are among the advances. Setbacks can be seen in the re-confessionalization of theological education in many parts of the world and the end of significant ecumenical initiatives as well as the continuous difficulty of guaranteeing sustainability both to models of Theological Education and to the institutions that offer them. Mindful of these trends, the present lecture seeks to provide a panoramic analysis of Theological Education in the context of an ever-growing diversity of Christianity and offer reflections and proposals on what is needed for a sustainable ecumenical and contextual Theological Education today.
Theological Education in the Context of Global Christianity
Theological Education is facing a number of advances and setbacks. The Globalization of Christianity, the evolution of communication tools and the strive for formal theological education by groups that customarily shunned it as well as a generalized awareness for the contextuality of Theological Education are among the advances. Setbacks can be seen in the re-confessionalization of Theological Education in many parts of the world and the end of formidable ecumenical initiatives as well as the continuous difficulty of guaranteeing sustainability both to models of Theological Education and to the institutions that offer them. Mindful of these trends, the present lecture seeks to provide a panoramic analysis of Theological Education in the context of an ever growing diversity of Christianity and offer reflections and proposals on what is needed for a sustainable ecumenical and contextual Theological Education today.
Intercultural Theology Competence for an Intercultural Faith Education
Religions
The article begins with clarifying what an Intercultural Faith Education would mean in a global culture that seems to be growing more pronounced in its pluralistic nature. Taking for granted the evident fact that Intercultural theology is the bedrock for a faith education in an intercultural context, it seeks to enumerate certain specific Intercultural theology competences that can render the process of intercultural faith education possible, significant and feasible. From a catechetical or faith education point of view, it analyses the three perspectives of faith that intercultural theology should promote, namely, the dialogic personalisation of faith, the prophetic challenging of faith and the cohesive exchange of faith—corresponding to personal and interpersonal dimensions, communitarian and social dimensions and expressive and missionary dimensions of faith, respectively. Each of these three perspectives declinate themselves into at least three specific competences, amounting to...
Interreligious Learning as Monotheist Imperative
Critical Reflection on Interreligious Education: Experiments in Empathy
Because seminaries are designed to further the goals of the religious communities that fund and support them, interreligious learning may not be generally accepted as fulfill¬ing their institutional needs. This perspective derives from the history of interreligious polemic and competition between and within monotheist traditions, based on the as¬sumption that God represents a single Truth that cannot be compromised, and that our expression of religion represents that Truth. This essay interrogates these assump¬tions and argues that true understanding must transcend the limits of religious institu¬tion and offers an instructive way to understand the distinctiveness of one’s particular spiritual tradition in relation to other attempts to understand the Infinite.
A STUDY OF THE ROLE THEOLOGY AND EDUCATION ARE INTEGRATED.
Faith and knowledge may appear to be two distinctly different disciplines but an the contrary they are not. This research is base on the integration of faith and learning, basing its ideas in the fact that education is usually devoid of a Christian morality. Hence the research will make use of literature that will show the “how” and the “why” Christ should be included in the classroom. This being highlighted by a symbiosis of faith and knowledge.

Religions 13(2), 2023
This paper asks how intercultural theology can inspire a critical and constructive reflection on the intercultural potential of non-confessional religious education (RE). Taking the Norwegian non-confessional RE subject as a starting point, the paper draws attention to the tendency to present religions, worldviews, and denominations as single entities with distinct characteristics. As emphasized by Jackson, Jones and Meyer, and others, a systemic-oriented approach will largely capture the institutionalized sides of religion. Consequently, in schools, the intercultural dimension of RE can easily be reduced by emphasizing students’ need for encyclopedic knowledge about different traditions, overlooking how religion is embedded in social life and transforms, develops, and interconnects through everyday practices outside of institutionalized religious life. This line of argument sets the stage for the next part, examining how intercultural theology can create critical awareness of the inner diversity and interconnectedness of denominations and religious traditions. The paper argues that the descriptive and normative framework of intercultural theology can inspire educators to reflect critically on the intercultural dimension of a non-confessional RE.
Theological Education for "Christian Witness in a Multi-Religious World"
Missionalia, 2023
The ecumenical document Christian Witness in a Multi-Religious World begins with the statement, "Mission belongs to the very being of the church. Proclaiming the word of God and witnessing to the world is essential for every Christian. " This study explores the question of how this affirmation, which represents an ecumenical consensus, can be realised. The study starts from the conviction that theological education plays a central role in this realisation process. Using the pedagogical concepts and tools used in education today-fitness for purpose, competence orientation and learning objectives-a qualification framework is developed to offer the possibility of integrating the objectives of the above-mentioned document into theological education.
Dialogues and Dynamics – Interculturality in Theology and Religious Studies
2021
On the occasion of the tenth anniversary of the Master's Programme "Intercultural Theology" we organised a symposium at the Theological Faculty in Göttingen under the title Dialogues and Dynamics: Interculturality in Theology and Religious Studies. The celebration took place in the building of the Faculty from December 5th to 7th, 2019. Among the many guests and participants were former students, professors, and responsible persons from various institutions who supported and guided the Programme from its beginnings until present times. The Theological Faculty, in cooperation with the University of Applied Sciences for Intercultural Theology in Hermannsburg (FIT), provides the M.A. Programme Intercultural Theology at the University of Göttingen. The programme started in the winter semester of 2009 with 11 students from six countries. Over the last 10 years, about 170 students from 53 different countries have been enrolled in the programme with 145 having graduated as of the 2021 summer semester. In order to visualize the worldwide body of students, we presented the students' home countries on a map hanging in the meeting room. The programme was subdivided into five panels and started on December 5th with the welcome addresses and the keynote speakers. An interactive workshop on the third day concentrated on the future development of the study course. In his welcome address, the Dean of the Theological Faculty, Prof. Dr. Bernd Schröder, pointed out that the Theological Faculty is proud of hosting such a unique study course. A course through which every year many students can be welcomed by members of the faculty and who inspire us by sometimes challenging the accustomed theological perspectives and habits.
