Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: „Das vorliegende Buch, eine engagierte Studie zur Erforschung und Verbesserung der persönlichen Beziehungen zwischen Pastor:innen und Kirchenmitgliedern, wendet sich gleichsam von außen an die Verantwortlichen in Kirche und (Praktischer) Theologie. Die Autorin ist keine zünftige Theologin, sondern sie nutzt ihre Expertise als ausgebildete Ökonomin und als engagierte Christin. Beides scheint mir für die kirchlich-theologische Diskussion weiterführend zu sein … So macht es guten Sinn, ökonomische Modelle wie das „Customer-Relationship-Management“ versuchsweise auf die Beziehung zwischen Pastor:innen und Mitgliedern zu beziehen. Dabei lässt das vorliegende Buch auf jeder Seite erkennen: Hier schreibt nicht nur eine studierte Ökonomin, sondern zugleich eine engagierte Christin, der die großen Probleme ihrer Kirche – Austritte, Geldmangel, schmerzhafte Umstrukturierungen – sehr zu Herzen gehen. … Dem vorliegenden Buch wünsche ich zahlreiche Leser:innen, die sich ermutigen lassen, je an ihrem Ort zu einer Verbesserung der kirchlichen Beziehungsqualität beizutragen. Denn das ist dringend nötig.“

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Changes in the religious landscape present challenges to conceptualization, methodology and empirical research of religion. The volume, Religion inside and outside Traditional Institutions, which includes contributions to the 2nd conference of the International Society for Empirical Research in Theology (ISERT) in Bielefeld, Germany, responds to these contemporary challenges. While the concept of religious praxis is their common theme, they include a focus on deinstitutionalized religion. The contributions in the first part present and discuss a variety of innovative conceptual, paradigmatic and methodological approaches. Distinguished reports from quantitative and qualitative empirical research make up the second part of this volume. Taken together, they may inspire conceptual and methodological discussion and encourage further research in empirical theology. Contributors include: Johannes A. van der Ven, Leslie J. Francis, Hans-Günter Heimbrock, Tobias Kläden, Chris Hermans, Hans Schilderman, Kees de Groot, Don S. Browning, Stefan Huber, Ulrich Feeser-Lichterfeld, Anke Terörde, Angela Kaupp, Astrid Dinter, Carsten Gennerich.

Download or read book Einst rzende Mauern written by Klaus Koschorke and published by Otto Harrassowitz Verlag. This book was released on 2009 with total page 456 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The year 1989/90 saw the fall of the Berlin Wall, the collapse of the Soviet empire, the end of the Cold War and of the bipolar world order. For the churches and Christians in Eastern Europe, the date was a dramatic turning point. It brought the end of the communist oppression, freedom of religion, and new opportunities for engagement in the public sphere. To what extent were these events a turning point for Christianity in Africa, Asia and Latin America, as well? This was the central question discussed at the 4th International Munich-Freising Conference in February 2008 by participants from four continents and various fields of professional expertise. Not only the Berlin Wall came down, but also the walls of Apartheid in South Africa and many nation-state barriers around the globe. These changes confronted churches throughout the world with new challenges. Das Jahr 1989/90 sah den Fall der Berliner Mauer, den Kollaps des Sowjetimperiums, das Ende des Kalten Krieges und die Auflosung der bipolaren Weltordnung. Fur die Kirchen und Christen in Ostmittel- und Osteuropa markiert dieses Datum eine einschneidende Zasur. Es brachte das Ende kommunistischer Unterdruckung, Religionsfreiheit und neue Wirkungsmoglichkeiten im offentlichen Raum. Inwieweit stellt das Datum einen Wendepunkt auch fur das Christentum in Afrika, Asien und Lateinamerika dar? Dies war die Leitfrage der 4. Internationalen Munchen- Freising Konferenz im Februar 2008. Sie wurde von Teilnehmern aus vier Kontinenten und unterschiedlichen Disziplinen intensiv diskutiert. Nicht nur die Berliner Mauer fiel, sondern auch die Mauern der Apartheid in Sudafrika sowie Blockgrenzen und nationalstaatliche Barrieren rund um den Globus. Dies stellte die Kirchen weltweit vor neue Herausforderungen.

Download or read book Organizing Muslims and Integrating Islam in Germany written by Kerstin Rosenow-Williams and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2012-10-19 with total page 542 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Organizing Muslims and Integrating Islam in Germany, Kerstin Rosenow-Williams analyzes the challenges faced by Islamic organizations in Germany since the beginning of the 21st century. Outlining the expectations German political actors have of Islamic organizations and the internal interests of these organizations, the author illustrates that organizational response strategies involve patterns not only of adaptation, but also of decoupling and protest. The study introduces an innovative research framework based on organizational sociology and provides empirical insights into three major Islamic umbrella organizations (DITIB, IGMG, ZMD) and their relationships with other actors. The comprehensive analysis of the German institutional environment and related developments in Islamic organizations makes this study highly relevant to scholars and politicians, as well as the general public.

Download or read book Migration und religi se Dynamik written by Andrea Lauser and published by transcript Verlag. This book was released on 2008 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Religion gilt als wichtige Ressource zur Artikulation von kulturellen Identitäten - besonders bei Menschen mit erhöhter Mobilität. Ethnologische Forschungen haben dazu beigetragen, die transnationale Perspektive in der Migrationsforschung zu etablieren, indem nicht nur die verschiedenen Aufenthaltsorte von Migranten und Migrantinnen und ihren Familienangehörigen, sondern auch die Transaktionen und Vernetzungen zwischen diesen in den Blick gerückt sind. Migranten reaktivieren nicht nur die eigene Religion und leben sie teilweise aktiver als in der Heimat, sondern das Nebeneinander unterschiedlicher Religionen im Einwanderungsland führt auch zu einer erhöhten Pluralisierung von religiöser Kultur mit den verschiedensten Wirkungen und Dynamiken. In diesem Buch wird auf Basis aktueller ethnographischer Forschung die Verwobenheit informeller Mikropolitiken und makrostruktureller Angelegenheiten von Religion und rituellen Praxen untersucht. Dabei geht es zentral um das Spannungsfeld zwischen individuellen Handlungsstrategien und den kulturellen wie sozialen Zugehörigkeiten im transnationalen Raum.
