Postparochiale Kirche

Against the backdrop of social transformation, this volume analyses the profound structural changes in churches. The contributions develop the programme concept of 'post-parochialism' as an ecumenical movement that transcends traditional territorial boundaries. It presents and discusses new spatial, organisational and social forms of church activity from historical, church-theoretical and practical perspectives. Scientific analysis and practical case studies facilitate reflective discourse on church development. This ecumenically responsible volume is intended for theology, church leadership and church practice alike, offering a significant contribution to the future of church presence and mission.
