What challenges does church leadership currently face? What expectations of theological research arise from this? These and other exciting questions were the topic on April 22nd, 2024 in the “CES-Talk”, our online forum, between State Bishop Kristina Kühnbaum-Schmidt, a member of our scientific advisory board and, among other things, deputy leading bishop of the VELKD, and part of the CES team. Once again, the open exchange proved beneficial. The next CES talk will take place on April 29, 2024, with Regional Bishop Dr. Christoph Meyns.
