Download or read book Die Beziehung des Pastors zum Kirchenmitglied written by Petra Strohmann and published by LIT Verlag Münster. This book was released on with total page 434 pages. 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 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 Religious America Secular Europe written by Peter Berger and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-11-18 with total page 105 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Europe is a relatively secular part of the world in global terms. Why is this so? And why is the situation in Europe so different from that in the United States? The first chapter of this book - the theme - articulates this contrast. The remaining chapters - the variations - look in turn at the historical, philosophical, institutional and sociological dimensions of these differences. Key ideas are examined in detail, among them: constitutional issues; the Enlightenment; systems of law, education and welfare; questions of class, ethnicity, gender and generation. In each chapter both the similarities and differences between the European and the American cases are carefully scrutinized. The final chapter explores the ways in which these features translate into policy on both sides of the Atlantic. This book is highly topical and relates very directly to current misunderstandings between Europe and America.
